A Modern Utopia - Herbert George Wells

Popis produktu

Don't let yourself be fooled by the title..."A Modern Utopia" (1905) is a dystopian, prophetic, and horrific novel proving how Wells always was ahead of his time. Its hybrid character – blending fiction and non-fiction – gives it an almost postmodern quality, as it tells of a time-travel gone wrong that brings two travellers to a planet called Utopia, where their intellectual discussions and thoughts about what constitutes a perfect society are allowed to roam free.The world Wells depicts can easily be recognised in later dystopian masterpieces such as Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and George Orwell's "1984".
