Animal Farm

 


說來慚愧, 我過去是一直沒有看過George Orwell 的 Animal Farm. 早前見書局新春大特價買了此書, 看罷著實感到是好書一本.

看著這本小書時, 邊看邊感到百般無奈, 為何人家在1945年寫成的書中, 大肆諷刺的共產主義的毛病 (針對蘇聯及史太林), 卻竟然在該書面世後後的20年內, 在中國繼續出現. 當然, 看畢此書, 亦真正感到為何 George Orwell作品及此書, 所獲的評價是如斯之高. (對我這個讀者而言, 真係覺得此書好有警世作用).

當書中講及農莊中的專替拿破崙豬做宣傳的小豬Squealer, 吹噓作農莊產量有幾勁, 完全令我想起大陸大躍進時, 那些 "人有多大膽, 地有多大產" 及 農作物產量百倍激增等 吹噓騙人之語. 拿破崙豬由豬變同志變領袖, 眾動物要高呼 "Long Live Comrade Napoleon!", "Napoleon is always right!", 只令我想起 "毛主席萬歲".

還有什麼動莊成立後動物們的的成立的運作戒條 The seven commandments, 又令人想起那些共產黨宣言, 戒條如何在 "領袖" 管治中, 被歪曲, 甚至被修訂......經期如 all animals are equal 最終竟然可以被加多一句成 but some animals are more equals than others.

睇到這點, 我真係心寒.

誠意推介大家睇下呢本小書.
