War with the Newts - Karel Čapek
War with the Newts (1936) is Karel Capek's darkly humorous allegory of early twentieth-century Czech politics. As the rest of the world learns of the creatures and their wonderful capabilities, it is clear that this new species is ripe for exploitation - they can be traded in their thousands, will do the work no human wants to do, and can fight - but the humans have given no thought to the terrible consequences of their actions. Captain van Toch discovers a colony of newts in Sumatra which can not only be taught to trade and use tools, but also to speak.
