其他媒體Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has rivaled Hemingway's The Old Man the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It's OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master take over management of the l, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege power. "We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management organisation of the farm depend on us. Day night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commments to excuse their violence greed, the common animals are once again left hungry exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce Thompson

From Library Journal
This 50th-anniversary commemorative edition of Orwell's masterpiece is lavishly illustrated by Ralph Steadman. In addition, it contains Orwell's proposed introduction to the English-language version as well as his preface to the Ukrainian text. Though all editions of Animal Farm are equal, this one is more equal than others.

From AudioFile
This is a delightful audio presentation! Acclaimed British actor Timothy West brings to life this well-known tale of revolution on a British farm by the animals, a satire of the former communist regime in the former Soviet Union. Orwell's text is at times tiresome, but the audio presentation never drags. West's presentation of the various characters is great--pigs, horses, mules, chickens--even bleating lambs. West also sings, in his best revolutionary voice, "Beasts of Engl." The only drawback to the audio presention is that there can be no footnotes; Orwell's Britishisms the various references to communism go by unexplained. Despite this drawback, the meaning of the tale is clear. M.L.C. Winner of AUDIOFILE's Earphones Award.

評分評價三: 這次收到的《Animal Farm》英文原版,包裝嚴謹,書本拿在手裏質感十足,喬治·奧威爾這幾個字,無論何時看到,總能勾起我對那個充滿洞察力與批判精神的作傢一絲敬意。我對奧威爾的寫作風格一直情有獨鍾,他那種冷靜客觀的敘述,卻能精準地剖析人性的復雜和社會的弊病。這次能擁有這本英文原版,對我來說意義非凡,我希望能通過最純粹的語言,去理解作者想要傳達的思想,去感受那個看似童話般卻暗藏深意的故事。我知道這本書在世界文學史上占據著舉足輕重的地位,被譽為經典之作,但作為一名普通讀者,我更享受的是閱讀本身帶來的沉浸感,是在每一個字句中尋找共鳴,在每一次情節推進中體會情感的跌宕。
