Ferma animalelor - George Orwell ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3.88/5 (11) Intr-o seara, animalele care traiesc intr-o ferma rau administrata de un fermier lenes si betiv, domnul Jones, asculta revelatille unui vier batran inainte ca acesta sa-si dea obstescul sfarsit. In curand, naive, proaste si insufletite de lozinci si de speranta unei vieti mai bune, acestea isi alunga stapanul si, sub conducerea porcilor, animale sirete si lacome, hotarasc sa transforme ferma intr-o lume mai buna, mai dreapta si mai fericita. Dar ceea ce, dupa titlu, ar parea o poveste pentru copii e de fapt o parabola infricosatoare si poate cea mai lucida lectie despre demagogie, coruptie, manipulare ideologica, propaganda, represiune si teroare. Scrisa "la cald", in anii razboiului, chiar in epoca in care unii occidentali se lasau sedusi de comunism si de stalinism, facandu-se ca nu observa crimele savarsite in numele unor idealuri utopice, nuvela Ferma animalelor e un bestseller si un antidot cu spectru larg care ne poate vindeca de orice tentatie totalitara.
