konstantina 's review for:

Animal Farm by George Orwell
4.75
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Read translated in Greek

One of my favorite European classic books. The allegory between the animals and the leaders/citizens of the Russian Revolution and, then, the Soviet Union is obvious, and yet it can beautifully stand as a children's fairytale with great messaging. Often misunderstood by both right and left wingers, it will always remain as an important creation of a deeply socialist author who shared a small hope for humanity's future.
