How long's the presentation?
A nice little allegory can be found at the URL below, but it's not very literary. It might do as light relief.

Classic allegories would probably be headed up by Bunyans' Pilgrim's Progress. (URL)
And Swift's Gulliver's Travels
covering religion and politics respectively.

Modern allegories: how about Animal Farm?
