nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'No person can be blamed for refusing to read another word of what promises to be a mere imposition upon his credulity.'
Julian West, a feckless aristocrat living in fin-de-siècle Boston,
plunges into a deep hypnotic sleep in 1887 and wakes up in the year
2000. America has been turned into a rigorously centralized democratic
society in which everything is controlled by a humane and efficient
state. In little more than a hundred years the horrors of
nineteenth-century capitalism have been all but forgotten. The squalid
slums of Boston have been replaced by broad streets, and technological
inventions have transformed people's
everyday lives. Exiled from the past, West excitedly settles into the
ideal society of the future, while still fearing that he has dreamt up
his experiences as a time traveller.
Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward
(1888) is a thunderous indictment of industrial capitalism and a
resplendent vision of life in a socialist utopia. Matthew Beaumont's
lively edition explores the political and psychological peculiarities
of this celebrated utopian fiction.
