|One of the classic books by Orwell, it tells the story of a farm run by [[socialist]] animals. The animals rebel against its owners and set up a new farm under socialist ideas, though this idealistic future devolves into a dictatorship run by Napoleon the pig. Although it seems to be more pro-socialist, as the book goes on it begins to show the dangers and corruptness that arises through [[communism]]. It is based on the beginning of the Soviet Revolution, and every character represents either a prominent Soviet leader or a group of Russian citizens (Such as the elderly or workers).

|A brilliant satire of the elite in [[Boston]] in the late 1800s, this book hurt the career of the magnificent writer Henry James because [[liberal]]s disliked both his mockery of them and his implicit criticism of the early [[feminist]] movement.  James did not expect the politically motivated disdain for this classic.
