This is a classic tale of humanity awash in totalitarianism. A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. First published during the epoch of Stalinist Russia, today it is clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, and under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of Orwell's masterpiece is a message still ferociously fresh.

Consider The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Recommended by 26 sources.
“The Fountainhead is a philosophical novel following architect Howard Roark’s defiance of social convention. Reading it feels like absorbing a passionate manifesto through melodrama: long speeches and symbolic characters deliver Ayn Rand’s objectivist ideas. Its strength is fueling personal integrity; its weakness is didacticism that flattens nuance and becomes a lecture. The prose is grandiose, the pacing uneven, but for those who click, it’s an electrifying defense of individualism.”
