Orwell pisał: "Folwark Zwierzęcy miał być przede wszystkim satyrą na rewolucję rosyjską. Jednak, jak podkreślam, przesłanie utworu jest szersze: chciałem wyrazić w nim myśl, iż ów s z c z e g ó l n y r o d z a j rewolucji (gwałtowna rewolucja oparta na konspiracji, z motorem napędowym w postaci nieświadomie żądnych władzy osób) może doprowadzić jedynie do zmiany władców.

Piękna powieść opowiadająca o zmierzchłych czasach kolonializmu. Jej trwałą wartością pozostaje obraz dalekiego, egzotycznego kraju o starej kulturze i tradycji, obcego i niezrozumiałego dla garstki białych pracowników małej placówki w dżungli, zmuszonych do życia w zabójczym klimacie, w całkowitej izolacji, pozbawionych widoków na przyszłość. Główny bohater ulega wprawdzie urokowi Birmy, jest z nią emocjonalnie związany, utrzymuje kontakty z tubylcami, lecz nade w...
