Over dit e-boek

In George Orwell's iconic novel, Animal Farm, the author presents a satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. The story follows a group of farm animals who overthrow their human owner and establish their own self-governing society. Orwell's simple yet powerful prose effectively conveys the corrupting influence of power and the dangers of totalitarianism. The use of anthropomorphic characters adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative, making it accessible yet thought-provoking. Animal Farm is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages, as it serves as a cautionary tale about the potential for tyranny in any political system. Orwell's keen insights into human nature and political ideologies make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in literature, history, or social commentary.

Over de auteur

George Orwell, the pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, was a towering figure in 20th-century literature, known for his lucid prose, biting social criticism, and unwavering commitment to democratic socialism. Born on June 25, 1903, in Motihari, Bihar, in British India, Orwell was a prolific writer whose work spans a variety of genres including journalism, essays, fiction, and non-fiction. Among his most celebrated works is 'Animal Farm' (1945), a fierce satire on the corruption of revolutionary ideals and a piercing commentary on the totalitarian abuse of power. Heading to Eton College for his education, Orwell later joined the Imperial Police in Burma, an experience that fostered his growing detestation of imperialism and eventually led to his resignation. Orwell's writing style is distinguished by its clarity, intelligence, and wit, his narratives often underscored by a prophetic awareness of social injustices and an intense opposition to totalitarianism, most famously depicted in his dystopian novel '1984'. Orwell's works are characterized by his profound consciousness of social wrongs, as well as his belief in democratic socialism as opposed to totalitarianism. Despite his battle against tuberculosis, Orwell continued to write until his death on January 21, 1950. His essays and novels remain powerful and relevant, cementing his legacy as one of the English language's most important and influential writers.
