Animal Farm

A novel by George Orwell. Without Hussein El-Shafei I never thought about reading it. But it came that way and I read it, and liked it soo much. It appears as an animation book, full of animals; pigs, horses, donkeys, dogs, sheep, cows .. but I found it a political book represented in an amazing way. He literally visualized all we are passing by in revolutions and politics, but in a way makes you love reading it. To my surprise it is an old book, and it is republished again and again till now adays. Despite being old, it is telling what was happening years ago, happening now, and will happen in the future if we didn't learn the lessons.

It all begins when humans treated animals in a bad way, human beings treated animals as slaves. So, animals responds to that by a revolution and a movement that calls for Animalization; this movement is calling for animals can do everything on their own without humans, and that anything on 2 legs or related to humans is bad; and everything with 4 legs or 2 legs and 2 wings are good. Later on, they wrote some commandments on the farm and they began to take over the farm from the owner. They killed the owner and took over the farm, they began to rule the farm and every animal was working hard according to its strengths. And they succeeded in this revolution and this farm became the first farm ruled by animals .. and only animals.
But the pigs as the wise animals back then, began to work little and take a superior role and to be superior on other animals. The pigs began to break the commandments and to take many privileges for themselves only. This way the animalism was reaching a failure, they are not working together anymore, all animals began to work for the pigs.
And in reality this happens too. We start feeling injustice, later we start a revolution, then a party starts to feel superiority. As a result, the revolution fails.

I believe we should learn the lesson, to begin a new life full of success. Because at the end pigs and humans looked the same, even after the revolution.

Hussein .. I'm grateful for this opportunity .. you helped me to get introduced to a new books genre called novels :D
