One of the most famous is 'The Jungle Book' by Rudyard Kipling. It has many animal characters like Mowgli's wolf family, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the panther. Another is 'Charlotte's Web' which centers around a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte. Their friendship is the heart of the story.
One is 'The Little Prince' where the fox is a key animal. It imparts wisdom to the little prince about seeing the essential in things. Another is 'Phantom of the Opera' which isn't mainly about animals but has a horse - drawn carriage in it, adding to the atmosphere of 19th - century Paris. Also, 'Candide' by Voltaire may mention animals in passing as part of the descriptions of different landscapes and situations.
There's also the Mockingjay from 'The Hunger Games'. The Mockingjay becomes a symbol of resistance against the Capitol. It was originally a tool of the Capitol, but Katniss turns it into a sign of hope and rebellion. In 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', the Cheshire Cat is famous. It represents mystery and the fluid nature of Wonderland, often popping up unexpectedly and giving Alice cryptic advice.
A novel like 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde has a strong connection to visual representation, much like photography in a way. The portrait in the story is like a frozen moment in time, similar to a photograph. It serves as a mirror to Dorian's soul and the decay of his character as time passes, much like how a photograph can capture a moment that has significance.
Malayalam kambi novels are a diverse genre. While I can't point out a particular kambi novel with animals off - the - cuff, it's reasonable to assume that in a genre that often draws from local folklore and nature - inspired stories, there could be some that incorporate animals. For instance, animals might be used to represent certain qualities or to tell moral stories within the kambi format.
In Greek mythology, Pegasus is a very famous flying horse. It was born from the blood of Medusa and became a symbol of inspiration. Another one is the Tortoise from Aesop's fables. In the story of 'The Tortoise and the Hare', the tortoise wins the race against the overconfident hare by being slow and steady.
Most Victorian era novels didn't have talking animals. The themes and subjects of that time were often more centered around social class, morality, and romance.
Some children's stories have talking animals. For example, in 'Winnie the Pooh', the characters are animals that talk and have adventures together. Also, fantasy novels might include talking animals in magical worlds.
A more modern example could be 'Gone Girl'. In this novel, the relationship between Nick and Amy is full of love and hate. Amy sets up Nick in a way that shows her hatred towards him for what she perceives as his wrongdoings in their marriage. But at the same time, there was love there before, and the novel plays with these two extreme emotions in a very unique and suspenseful way.
One famous animal in Odia stories is the elephant. Elephants are often depicted as strong and noble creatures. For example, in some tales, elephants are shown as carriers of the gods, symbolizing power and divinity.
One famous animal in war stories is War Horse. Joey, the horse in the story, was sent to the front lines during World War I. He endured many hardships and faced danger but also showed great courage. Another is Rin Tin Tin, a dog that became a hero in World War I. He was found on the battlefield and went on to star in movies, becoming a symbol of loyalty. And there was also Cher Ami, a pigeon that delivered important messages during the war, despite being shot and injured.
