(The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. "We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce Thompson]]> 3706 3.88 403555 14050 1025322 3.82 359 28 1945 2274818 9646205062 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2274818._ 3.67 6 The Brothers Karamozov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the "wicked and sentimental" Fyodor Pavlovich Karamozov and his three sons–the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, its social and spiritual strivings, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.]]> 3356 4.14 82348 6778 1025322 3.82 359 28 1880 1497579 9789644480621 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1202750360m/1497579.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1202750360s/1497579.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1497579._ 3.72 130 ویرایش دوم: صالح حسینی]]> 3535 3.86 57250 4345 1025322 3.82 359 28 1383 3900650 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1217215896m/3900650.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1217215896s/3900650.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3900650._ 3.65 17 The Gambler, Dostoevsky reaches the heights of drama with this stunning psychological portrait.]]> 3356 4.14 82348 6778 1025322 3.82 359 28 1973 6669842 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1254490883m/6669842.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1254490883s/6669842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6669842 4.07 14 956141 4.00 16 2 1025322 3.82 359 28 5291294 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1225227653m/5291294.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1225227653s/5291294.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5291294._ 3.86 14 2989233 4.11 37 2 1025322 3.82 359 28 2007 3299573 9644481771 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3299573._ 3.40 5 1025322 3.82 359 28 2008 7284285 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260212244m/7284285.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260212244s/7284285.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7284285 3.50 2 3080755 3.50 2 0 1025322 3.82 359 28 4737511 9644481585 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221963612m/4737511.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221963612s/4737511.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4737511._ 0.0 0 1025322 3.82 359 28 1971919 0.0 0 0 2001 4736629 9644482069 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221958422m/4736629.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221958422s/4736629.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4736629._ 0.0 0 1025322 3.82 359 28 1971919 0.0 0 0 2004
