A revolucao dos bichos
(Author) George OrwellEscrito durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e publicado em 1945, A revolução dos bichos - uma alegoria política baseada na Revolução Russa e na ditadura stalinista - foi eleito um dos cem melhores romances em língua inglesa do século 20. Cansados dos maus-tratos e da exploração a que são submetidos na Fazenda do Solar, os animais se rebelam contra seu mestre, o expulsam e assumem o controle da propriedade. Liderados pelos porcos, os bichos estabelecem uma sociedade igualitária baseada no Animalismo, um sistema de ideias contrário à tirania dos seres humanos e que, na prática, garantiria liberdade, justiça e fartura de alimentos a todos. Mas, com o passar do tempo, as esperanças de um futuro mais feliz vão se perdendo. O ideais da rebelião são corrompidos e depois esquecidos. Os porcos, novos donos do poder, repetem antigos hábitos e, aos poucos, instauram um novo regime de opressão.
