A wide-ranging selection of George Orwell's essays, written in the clear-eyed, passionate and uncompromising style that has earned him a reputation as one of Britain's greatest writers.

In this essay, Orwell discusses the notion of nationalism and argues that it causes people to disregard common sense and become more ignorant towards factuality. Orwell shows his concern for the social state of Europe, and in a broader sense, the entire world, due to an increasing amount of influence of nationalistic sentiment occurring throughout a large number of countries.

Um dia, os trabalhadores resolveram dizer "basta" e deram início a uma revolução, expulsando de vez seu carrasco para bem longe!

After years of exploitation, neglect, and despair, the animals of Manor Farm revolt. They drive owner Mr. Jones off the land and rechristen the property Animal Farm, a utopia of equality and mutual support. But Napoleon, a young boar who assumes command after the rebellion, is hungry for power. And as the pigs consolidate control, all the good intentions of Animal Farm are crushed by a new and inevitable tyranny. 

Animal Farm, one of the great social satires of our century, is based upon modern Eastern European history. First published in 1945, it is the classic fable of the utopian dream and the corruptive influences of power. When the animals at Manor Farm revolt against their master, Mr. Jones, their goal is to take over the farm and establish an ideal community based on hard work, honesty, and the equality of all animals. Memories are short, however, and soon the farm's founding principles are slowly eroded and abolished.

Farm der Tiere (Originaltitel: Animal Farm) ist eine Fabel von George Orwell, erschienen im Jahr 1945. Inhalt ist die Erhebung der Tiere einer englischen Farm gegen die Herrschaft ihres menschlichen Besitzers, der sie vernachlässigt und ausbeutet. Nach anfänglichen Erfolgen und beginnendem Wohlstand übernehmen die Schweine immer mehr die Führung und errichten schließlich eine Gewaltherrschaft, die schlimmer ist als diejenige, welche die Tiere abschütteln wollten.

What begins as an idyllic new society built for the freedom and equality of all who walk on four legs quickly becomes a nightmare. The cleverest animals take on more and more control while the hard working common animals are manipulated into doing all the work. Best intentions are twisted by the lure of power, and no animal is immune to the terrible consequences of its corrupting influence.

Geboren in der ehemaligen britischen Kolonie Indien verlief das Leben von George Orwell alles andere als geradlinig. Womöglich durch die brutale Fremdherrschaft des Empires über Indien und durch Stalins organisierten Staatsterror und Massenmord angewidert, entwickelte er sich zu einem überzeugten sozialistischen Demokraten, der alle Machtorgane von möglichst vielen Menschen organisiert und Machtumsetzung immer auf möglichst vielen Schultern verteilt sehen wollte. Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 21.
