THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY of George Orwell's birth has brought these two groundbreaking novels together for the first time, along with a revealing new introduction by Christopher Hitchens.

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is the account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm—a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others.

দ্বিতীয়বার পড়লাম। যদিও এটি জনরা হিসেবে ডিসটোপিয়ান নভেলের ভেতর পড়ে, বড়দের হরর বললে ভুল হবে না(বড় তে 'স্বাধীনতা' শব্দটির যথাযথ অর্থ তার জানা ও অনুভবে থাকতে হবে)। আমি আজ অব্দি এতো ট্রমাটাইজিং কোনো লেখা পড়িনি।

বইটা বেশ। প্রথমত সাইজে ছোট, লেখকের গড়ে তো রিয়ালিটিতে একজন ব্যর্থ বিপ্লবী কাহিনীর নায়ক। রিয়ালিটিটা ইন্টারেস্টিং, হীরক রাজার শাসনপদ্ধতির সাথে বেশ মিল আছে। বইয়ের মেসেজটা ততোধিক ইন্টারেস্টিং, রুম ১০১ মেরে ফেলে না, ভালোবাসা ভুলিয়ে দেয়।

বইয়ের ডিটেইলসে যাওয়া ঠিক হবে না। ছোট বই, পড়ে ফেলা ভালো।

Ugh. That was a really boring book. Having quizzes on every chapter did not help to make it enjoyable. The writing was dull and the book was predictable. Basically what happened was: the animals rebel, they make a perfect way of living with seven commandments, SPOILER ALERT







they basically break all of their rules, and it leads to it being the way it was before they rebelled.
