![]() ![]() ![]() The farm in the sociopolitical novel “Animal Farm” serves as a metaphor and an allegory for totalitarian governments and dictators in history like that of Soviet Russia during the Russian Revolution. We live in similar times, and it is precisely during these times that literature like these two novels becomes timely and worthwhile to read on a regular basis to serve as a reminder of the ways in which autocrats exploit human desire for a better world for their own self-serving ends, which they depict “for your health and safety,” and “keep safe” and “we’re all in this together.” There are conspicuous similarities between George Orwell’s books “Animal Farm” (published in 1945) and “1984” (published in 1949) and all that is going on in today’s worldwide societies. ![]()
