ANIMAL FARM

My Book Review

Who wrote this book
George Orwell.

What is this book about?
The title of this book is “Animal farm” by the very known British author George Orwell. Actualy it’s a novel with allegorical character first published in 1945 after the end of the war. One day a group of farm animals rebels against their human farmer. The reason of their revolution is that they want to create a society, where all the animals would be equal, free and happy. The rebellion is betrayed. Then a pig called Napoleon becomws a dictator and the contition in the farm becomes worse than it was before. The story of the book is a reflection of the politic events that took part in the Russin Revolution and the dictatorship of Atalin after the rebellion.

My Favourite part
Orwell was deeply a democratic socialist and after the end of the Second World War he felt annoyed, by the fact that united kingdom was supporting Stalin as the leader of Russia. So in this book he decided to combinate art and politics. When i read this book i had no idea of the political meaning. It was just a story, as a fairy tale talking about freedom, equality, hapiness cooparation and then dictatorship and misery.

I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE STRANGER

My Book Review

Who wrote this book
Albert Camu.

What is this book about?
The title of this book is “The Stranger” written by Albert Camu , who was a french philosopher and author. He was born in 1913 and he won the Nobel Prize of literature in 1957.
The main character is Meusault. In the beginning of this book he learns about the death of his mother and at her funeral he doesn’t express the expected emotions of grief. Actually he is a strange man who feels nothing for other people. Later, in the plot he kills a man, he gets arrested and goes into the prison. There he passes the time sleeping all day, showing passivity. He simply admites that he was never able to feel any emotions for anything in his life.
He lived as a soulles monster and after the crime, by being publichy guillotined.

My Favourite part
This book seems realy wierd. It’s difficult for someone who has lots of feeling in his soul to read such a book. The main character is a tragic person, who lives as a stranger to his self and he has to face things as death,justice,absurd,isolation and emptiness.

How many stars?
I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do you recommend this book?
I think the author is very intelligent, because it’s difficult to write about a character as Meursault.
