George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting - he’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It’s ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth.

Histoire
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.

Histoire
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Science fiction allows us to go places we can only dream of seeing - other worlds, distant stars, entirely different galaxies. While not every story is concerned with the hard science behind space travel and other futuristic ventures, fiction can give us amazing insight into what we could be capable of and what we dream of doing. In these 10 lectures, Professor Erin Macdonald interweaves real science and the achievements of the imagination to reveal the truth that underlies our favorite stories and sheds light on what the future may hold.

"Abandon all hope you who enter here." ( "Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate.") Dante’s Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism. Passing under a lintel emblazoned with these frightening words, the poet is led down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth.

Description
Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in the UK in 1945. It is the tale of farm animals that rebel against the farmer, intending to establish a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. With stirring slogans, they set out to create utopia. However, the rebellion is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state worse than it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.
This is the setting for one of the most revealing satiric fables of all time - an acerbic tale for adults that records the process from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism which is even worse. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was its target. Today it is quite clear that wherever and whenever freedom is suppressed, the message of George Orwell’s masterpiece is still relevant. Time Magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. It also features at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels.
Featured Article: Thought-Provoking George Orwell Quotes
George Orwell was a master of his craft. Over his years, he created several novels and nonfiction works which expressed thought-provoking ideas about the future, and offered intriguing societal criticism. His style of dystopian tales were both futuristic and alarmingly believable. His knack for describing future worlds and technologies, many of which have similar realistic applications in modern times, has also helped to make his works timeless classics.

Outstanding Allegory - Poor Performance
This is an interesting story about a working farm that rebels from control by humans and deteriorates into infighting, hypocrisy, authoritarianism, and violence. Orwell uses a story about an English farm as a model for this brilliant treatment of his interpretation of what happened after the Russian Revolution - complete with characters representing Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. The writing is brilliant and the imagery startling. The narrative is engrossing and thought-provoking. Adriel Brandt has a monotonous style of reading, unfortunately. He relates the story clearly - good enunciation - but the performance has little else going for it. It's disappointing to hear this fascinating satire delivered with zero emotion.
Despite a poor performance, this recording of a rightfully celebrated allegorical tale is worth 8 out of 10 stars.

Not the best, but good read
The book feels like it's the summary for another book. the story is good, it could have had more drama and events to it. but it doesn't. it is laid out as one simple sentence after another: X did that. Y did this. Z said that. etc... so it doesn't conduct feelings to the reader (listener). this did not help the narrator at all. so he sounded most of the time like a text to speech programs, monotonic, doesn't grab your attention.
So may be it will be a lot better as an actual read, not as audio.

Grim story of corruption, deceit and a dystopian rewriting of history.
That said the story itself was simple and full of gullible characters, the only sad thing is you have to wonder if humanity today is any more intelligent or better at remembering history than the horses.

Depressing!
Published in 1945, this rather short novel is a satire criticizing the Stalinist regime in the USSR. It includes quite blatant references to the Bolshevik seizure of power, to information control and distortion, to Trotsky, to famines, to failed five-year plans, etc.
Sadly, it is difficult for the reader not to feel that the work could have been further enhanced, perhaps by developing some individual characters. As it is, many good leads are not brought to full fruition, regarding Napoleon and Snowball, for instance. Also, paradoxically, a somewhat elitist point of view is perceptible, with the majority of the population (literally) being sheep, who mindlessly bleat slogans without understanding what they mean.
Worse, the overall dénouement is devoid of any hint of hope for lasting human progress.

George Orwell is in a league of his own
It’s astonishing how many of the tactics employed by the pigs on the animal farm are still in use in modern politics today. From the uprooting of tradition to the twisting of information, this book is succinct and to the point; everybody is corruptible, and if we aren’t careful, we may turn into that which we originally feared, or as bad, become subjects to the ones who have. The narrator’s voice is very relaxing, too much so in fact, as I became sleepy numerous times throughout the listening, despite being compelled to continue listening through every line. Read/Listen to this classic, bolster your knowledge, and lift the veil from your eyes, all is not as it seems on Animal Farm, and certainly not in the world today either. The path to hell is paved with good intentions, and if you sit back and allow that road to be built, you just may be the one to traverse it.

Animal Version of 1984
I preferred this book over 1984 but it has a lot of key similarities (probably by design). I liked this one more because it wasn’t as dragged out as 1984 and it was easier to grasp the point. Definitely would recommend if highschool students need a book to read (technically a novella) for english class.
