In this captivating utopian novel, Bellamy transports readers to a future Boston, where Julian West awakens from a 113-year slumber. Stunned by the transformed society he encounters, West grapples with the stark contrasts between his 19th-century world and this idealized future. Through West’s eyes, we explore a society free from poverty, inequality, and strife. Bellamy’s vivid imagination and thought-provoking ideas left me pondering long after I turned the final page. A true classic that still resonates today.
Human history, like all great movements, was cyclical, and returned to the point of beginning.
