Reviewed by Maxie4⭐ Una lectura bastante interesante, donde se pueden ver los paralelismos en la sociedad actual en la que vivimos. Retrata muy bien el sentir de la clase trabajadora y como los gobiernos intentan vendernos progreso pero nunca más del que ellos mismos creen merecen recibir, como prefieren tener un pueblo que no sepa y aprovecharse de eso y como la manipulación mediática es un problema grande y juega con la mente de los demás. Agarré muchos corajes, sentí una gran impotencia y eso es justamente como me hace sentir vivir en la actualidad política en la que estamos. El final estuvo demasiado abierto, siento que podría haberse extendido un poco más pero igual queda interpretación propia y te hace reflexionar.
Reviewed by Luis ALVOrwell nos retrata una URSS victima del fascismo en una granja que realiza una revolución liderada por los cerdos, retratando cada paso de esta granja hasta la descomposición de la moral del gobuerno.<br/>Es magistral la forma en que proyecta estos problemas sociales y políticos trasladandolos a un cuento sobre animales.<br/>Cabe remarcar que este, a diferencia de 1984, sí es una crítica durísima al régimen de la URSS.
