Animal Farm Dar Al-Takween

Author's name: George Orwell Publisher: Al-Takween for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2016 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: All over the world... This famous novel by its author was first printed in 1945... It tells the story of a group of animals who decided to revolt against the farm owner to govern themselves and manage their own affairs. Here, Orwell excelled in creating a kind of satirical political wisdom that is entertaining and spoken through the animals, revealing the sharp contradiction between revolutionary slogans and the practices of the rulers after the revolution, against the backdrop of his sharp criticism of the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin... but he also goes beyond that to delve deeply into the animals, among which — and not on top of them — is the human. George Orwell (1903-1950) is considered one of the most important British writers of the twentieth century. He was born in India and worked in Burma with the British police, lived in extreme poverty in London and Paris, volunteered in 1936 to fight with the Republicans in Spain against Franco's fascist forces, then worked at the BBC and as an editor and journalist until the end of his life. Orwell was throughout his life concerned with defending the oppressed, truth, democracy, and fighting dictatorship, poverty, and injustice. He wrote poetry, journalistic articles, memoirs, and novels. Among his most important novels are Animal Farm and 1984.
