Ein augenöffnendes Buch. Nur selten habe ich so sehr gemerkt, dass man mich zum Nachdenken bringen will, wie in einer Geschichte, wo Schweine anfangen eine Farm unter Kontrolle zu haben. Diese bitterböse Allegorie auf Macht, Kontrolle und Verrat, wo Tiere zu Menschen werden, und andere Tiere langsam unterdrücken, ohne, dass es die anderen überhaupt erst merken… Gruselig. Und erschreckend aktuell. Sollte weiterhin zur Pflichtlektüre gehören.

Design your own cover - My Penguin is simple, we print the words, you do the covers. What will you do? Remember you can draw, paint, scribble or scratch to make your mark on My Penguin. Frame it, read it, give it as a gift or hide it away on a shelf at home. That cover is naked. Put something on it! When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling 'fairy story' is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.
