Bercerita tentang sebuah peternakan yang didalamnya binatang ternak melakukan pemberontakan kepada pemilik peternakan atas ketidakadilan yang dialami hidup mereka, tetapi ada saja hewan yang rakus, disaat itula kehancuran terjadi.

Orwell membungkus cerita ini dengan sangat apik, sebuah realitas pemerintahan ketika dipimpin oleh pemimpin yang diktator, sistem yang tidak adil, dikemas dalam cerita fiksi berlatar belakang peternakan yang tokohnya adalah binatang. Bagaimana para babi begitu liciknya mengumandangkan pemberontakan, kesetaraan, kebebasan padahal mereka juga yang meng obrak abrik untuk kesenangan dan keuntungan mereka semua Dan taklupa terdapat para penjilat.

Animal farm dari penerbit shira media terjemahannya bagus, mudah dipahami tidak berbelit-belit, dan covernya juga sangat eyecatching

I personally really enjoyed 1984, and figured I'd read Animal Farm as well. I liked the book well enough, I think the topics it brings attention to absolutely need to be talked/read about (especially in the current day, as an American!), but I did find myself putting it down quite a few times out of boredom. Although it is rather fast paced, it did not have the same captivating wording that 1984 had, but rather simple sentences (for about as simple as George Orwell can get)
I do think that it deserves to be as widely appreciated as it is, but I'd recommend someone 1984 before I'd recommend Animal Farm.

I loved this book.. but also hated how accurate this was. I hated how I could make connections between this story and real life, it constantly made me uncomfortable in a sense where it literally made me like, “wow this is so sad” and “this is happening to this day”

It made me so mad that Benjamin could read this entire time and let everything happen, didn’t spread the message or anything. RIP boxer and everyone.

The fact that I could still see this theme in real life is absolutely terrifying, especially in this era even though this book was written decades ago, before I was even born. Screw Napoleon, especially Squealer, and every pig!!

Animal Farm is once again more relevant than ever in this geopolitical climate. Orwell writes with such precision and stays away from unnecessarily long-winded sentences, making this book accessible for a broader audience. It is a heartbreaking story and instantly recognizable.
