What to say….
This book is a perfect example of power and corruption specifically during the Russian revolution. I think it does an amazing job at showing a totalitarian government as well as the role of propaganda. To fully appreciate the novel it is important to realize that the characters represent characters around the Russian revolution and communism itself. How even when trying to create a utopia and equal society with corrupt people in power it can lead to an unjust society. As well as how the working class are manipulated and hurt while believing “the leaders know best”. The book is disturbing because of how true it is. Orwell does an amazing job at revealing the injustices within society in a unique way. One of my favorites

A classic well worth reading, especially I these troubled times. It puts in plain words the complex dynamics that are at play when power is up for grabs. It shows very clearly how a system is doomed to become that which it swore it would never be if there is no effort to deconstruct and understand how the system came to be i and the first place. It also shows how essential education of the population at all levels is in order to break the cycle and keep the patterns from reemerging.
It's a true mark of quality to have a book be written almost a century ago and it still rings true today.
