《动物庄园》内容为：小说不属于人们所熟悉的蕴含教训的传统寓言，而是对现代政治神话的一种寓言式解构。“它是一部革命史，但它误入歧途，而且第一次偏离都那么有理由。”作者在1945年该书出版是如是说。奥威尔的传世之作，欧美15所名名牌大学投票选出“影响我成长的十《动物庄园(买中文版送英文版)》”之一，世界文坛最著名的政治讽喻小说。
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” ― George Orwell, quote from Animal Farm
外面的动物从猪看向人，又从人看向猪，再从猪看向人;但已经分不清哪个是哪个了。——乔治·奥威尔，引用自《动物庄园》
“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.” ― George Orwell, quote from Animal Farm
“人是唯一只消费而不生产的生物。他不产奶，他不下蛋，他太弱了，拉不动犁，他跑得不够快，抓不到兔子。但他是所有动物的主人。他让他们工作，给他们最起码的回报，以避免他们挨饿，其余的他留给自己。”
——乔治·奥威尔，《动物庄园》
“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”
― George Orwell, quote from Animal Farm
没有人比拿破仑同志更坚定地相信所有动物都是平等的。他会很乐意让你们自己做决定的。但是，同志们，有时候你们可能会做出错误的决定，那我们该怎么办呢?”
——乔治·奥威尔，《动物庄园》
