Orwell was severely wounded when he was shot through his throat. In addition to his literary career Orwell served as a police officer with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927 and fought with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1937.
His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism. Punctul culminant – o subtila ironie la adresa regimului comunist – poate fi inteles fie si numai raportindu-ne la ultima regula (adusa la zi) care mai ramine, intr-un final, inscrisa pe hambar: „Toate animalele sint egale, numai ca unele animale sint mai egale decit altele”.Įric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. Prea curind insa, porcii preiau conducerea fermei, sub veleitatea inteligentei lor, si se bucura de toate privilegiile puterii. Regulile de aur ale colectivitatii sint inscrise cu litere uriase pe un hambar: toate animalele sint egale, nici un animal nu va bea alcool, nu va purta haine, nu va dormi in pat, nu-si va ucide semenii. Fiecare munceste peste program, productivitatea creste si, pe moment, toate gurile sint satule.
Cind animalele de la ferma Manor isi alunga stapinul betiv, toate sint cuprinse de un zel colectiv.
Orwell reuseste sa construiasca atit o povestire antrenanta (care, la un prim nivel, ar putea constitui o savuroasa lectura pentru copii), cit si o extraordinara alegorie despre sistemul comunist in particular, despre orice sistem totalitar, in general. Cartea a fost tradusa in peste 70 de tari si este inclusa in programele scolare si universitare din intreaga lume. Ferma Animalelor (publicata in 1946) este cea mai cunoscuta satira politica din secolul XX.
