Farm der Tiere

"Alle Tiere sind gleich aber manche sind gleicher"

My librarian told me that this us bit necessarily an anti communist book but rather an anti corruption book, so I did not look at it from a political perspective. Animal Farm is a fun book to read if you want to have a fun intro to George Orwell and his books. It's easy, there's some dark elements, and it's nice for a quick shift in style. It's not my book style personally (I like stuff like Firebreak), but I feel like it is unfair to compare a grand classic to a fairly insignificant modern dystopian novel. It's a fun book to read if you want a fun and dark weekend read that is also a classic book.

This tale highlights how an idealistic revolution can turn to a dystopia worse than the oppresion from before. There are many parellels to the story of the Soviet Union which makes it especially interesting for history nerds.
