Yesterday I've finished reading Animal Farm, and personally I believe that it is not only a parody of the Soviet Union - but also a parody of the current world.
By the way, this DOES contain spoilers, if you want to read it you might want to refrain from reading this article until you are done. While it may not be as popular as Orwell's "1984", I still think it deserves a read. If you enjoyed 1984, then you will enjoy this book too, as it explores many of the same themes as the aformentioned book.
For a quick summary: an old pig called Major has a dream he shared with his fellow animals: a dream where all animals are equal, a dream where humans, especially Mr Jones, the farm's owner, don't take their produce. While Old Major dies a few days later, his fellow animals were inspired by his message. Eventually, they have a revolution to kick the owner out of his farm. After that event, they change the farm's name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. Two pigs step up to be the leaders of their new nation: Snowball and Napoleon.
