In modern literature, ''[[Animal Farm]]'' by [[George Orwell]] is called an allegorical [[novella]] or a [[fable]]. It uses animal characters to tell the story of [[Communism]] in the [[Soviet Union]], from the revolution to the rise of [[Stalin]]. This story does not perfectly fit that of an allegory because the characters are animals and the events could not actually happen as described, but the characters are based on historical facts (with animals replacing humans) such that it is not a traditional fable either.
