CliffsNotes on Orwell's Animal Farm (Dummies Trade) 26153rd Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 195 ratings

The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also features glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.

The animals in CliffsNotes on The Animal Farm reflect different kinds of humans and their struggles for freedom and power. Orwell felt that a farm where "All Animals Are Equal" would solve many social and economic problems—but he also knew that such a system would be difficult to maintain.

Find out what happens on the farm when some of the animals act on the principle that "Some Are More Equal Than Others." You'll also gain insight into the life and political views of the author, George Orwell. Other features that help you study include

  • Character analyses of major players
  • A character map that graphically illustrates the relationships among the characters
  • Critical essays
  • A review section that tests your knowledge
  • A Resource Center full of books, articles, films, and Internet sites

Classic literature or modern-day treasure—you'll understand it all with expert information and insight from CliffsNotes study guides.

    I am as many are a reader of CliffsNotes in my desire to fully understand a literary work. This resource was an easy read and enhanced my understanding and enjoyment of this excellent novelette, which rivals Aesop's Fables with the added benefit of speaking cogently to a 21st century audience. I also like that the CliffsNotes urges its reader to read the original work to better his or her understanding.

    The book came in very good condition, but the shipping came on the 2nd to last day of the allotted time for the shipping date and usually books should ship faster. other than that though, i was very pleased in its condition.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfekter Überblick
    Reviewed in Germany on March 20, 2013
    Ich habe mir dieses Werk als Zusatzinformationen für die Lektüre von "Animal Farm" gekauft, da ich das genannte Werk mit einem Englischgrundkurs in der Q1 gelesen habe.

    CliffsNotes bestechen, wie auch im Fall von "Animal Farm" durch eine konzise Darstellung des Inhalts, der Charaktere und wichtiger Konzepte. CliffsNotes entlastete meine Lektüre stark und ermöglichte mitunter einen vollkommen neuen Blick auf diese.

    Die Autoren sind keineswegs Professoren sondern mitunter auch Masterstudenten, die einen erfreulich frischen Blick auf die Materie eröffnen. Erfreulich finde ich ebenfalls, dass keine didaktischen Vorschläge zu der Bearbeitung der novel getätigt werden, sondern lediglich eine solide Textanalyse stattfindet.

    CliffsNotes können keine Deutungshoheit beanspruchen und das tun diese meines Erachtens nach auch nicht. Sie ermöglichen aber unterschiedliche Blickwinkel auf die jeweilige Literatur.

    Vor allem die inhaltlich-analytische Tiefer der Notes und der Preis machen dieses Werk wesentlich attraktiver als die Lektürehilfen diverser Schulverlage.

    P.S.: Diese Rezension stimmt mit der Rezension von CliffsNotes zu Golding's "Lord of the Flies" überein, da ich beide Werke parallel verwendet habe.
