Biographie George Orwell en Anglais + Resume court de Animal Farm

« Animal Farm is a short political fable based on Joseph Stalin's betrayal of the Russian Revolution.

It was published in 1945.

The animals of the Manor Farm live in a bad situation because their farmer Mr.

Jones, a mean and always drunk man, exploits them.

One day Old Major, an old pig, called a meeting of all the animals and told them about a dream that he had had the previous night.

He had dreamed about an old song 'Beasts of England' that started a resistance against the human beings.

Everyone was very excited.

But Old Major died a few days later and two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, started leading the preparations for the Rebellion. About three months later they revolted against Mr.

Jones and they took over the farm.

The purpose of the revolution was to create a fair society made only by animals and based on seven commandments like “Four legs good, two legs bad” and most important one: "All animals are equal".

They also changed the name of the farm to "Animal Farm".

Snowball, an inventive and vivacious pig and Napoleon, a big and cruel-looking pig, started to fight for leadership.

In the meantime Mr.

Jones wanted to get the farm back but the animals succeeded in the battle and Mr.

Jones was forced to run away.

One day, when Snowball announced his plans to build a windmill, Napoleon arrived in the farm with nine big and cruel dogs that made Snowball run away bleeding.

From that day Napoleon was the real dictator of the farm; if an animal didn't agree with him, he was eaten up by his dogs.

If something went wrong, Napoleon blamed it on Snowball, who, according to him, was sneaking around Animal Farm ruining everything.

When the strongest horse in the farm lost his strength because of old age and fell while he was building a windmill, Napoleon sent him to be slaughtered.

Now Napoleon had pity on no one.

He and the pigs were like Mr.

Jones - they exploited the other animals, they took advantage of their foolishness and they came into contact with human beings for business although they had said it was forbidden.

In the end they became like human beings, they started to walk on their hind legs and they changed the old maxim with a new one: “Four legs good, two legs better”.

In the end everything was back to how it was and their resistance seemed to be useless.. »
