Synopsis "La Rebel·Lió Dels Animals (in Catalan)"

La rebel·lió dels animals, un dels clàssics més importants de la literatura universal, és una faula senzilla i tràgica que relata la rebel·lió dels animals del mas dels Jones contra els seus amos. És la història “d’una revolució que va acabar malament i de les excel·lents excuses que es van anar inventant pas a pas per jsutificar la perversió de la doctrina original”, tal i com va escriure Orwell a la solapa de la primera edició del llibre, el 1945. Concebuda com una sàtira de l’estalinisme, el caràcter universal del seu missatge fa d’aquesta obra mestra una anàlisi extraordinària de la corrupció que engendra el poder i una crítica del totalitarisme.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
