Edward Bellamy

Edward Bellamy (Chicopee, 26 marzo 1850 - Chicopee, 22 maggio 1898) raggiunse la fama con il celebre romanzo utopico "Guardando Indietro, 2000-1887 (Looking Backward)" che pubblico nel 1888. Dopo una partenza lenta, il libro raggiunse le 300.000 copie nel 1891, ispirando imitazione, analisi, acrimonia e rispetto; fu disprezzato da alcuni come troppo radicale e da altri come non abbastanza. Le critiche rivolte a Looking Backward richiedevano ulteriori spiegazioni della sua societa utopica. E Bellamy provo a darle ne "La Grande rivoluzione (Equality)". Lo comincio a scrivere nel 1894 pubblicandolo nel 1897, un anno prima di morire. Il libro costituisce cosi una sorta di testamento dello scrittore, ma anche una spietata critica al capitalismo ed un punto fermo utile ancora oggi alla ricerca delle soluzioni al problema sociale.

""Equality"" is a novel written by Edward Bellamy, a prominent American writer and socialist activist. The book is set in the year 2000, and it presents a utopian vision of a society that has achieved complete social and economic equality. The protagonist of the story is a young man named Julian West, who falls into a deep sleep in the year 1887 and wakes up in the year 2000. As he explores this new world, he discovers that the society has been transformed by a political movement called the ""Great Revolution."" In this new society, all forms of inequality have been eliminated, and everyone is equal in terms of wealth, education, and social status. The government has been replaced by a system of industrial armies, where everyone works for the common good, and all goods and services are distributed according to need. There is no money, no private property, and no competition between individuals. As Julian learns more about this new society, he becomes increasingly enamored with its ideals and principles. He falls in love with a young woman named Edith, who shares his passion for equality and social justice. Together, they explore the new world and work to spread its message to others. Throughout the book, Bellamy uses Julian's experiences to critique the inequalities and injustices of his own time. He argues that the capitalist system is inherently flawed and that true equality can only be achieved through collective action and social reform. ""Equality"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that challenges readers to imagine a better world. It is a classic of utopian literature and a testament to the power of human imagination and social progress. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1897 Edition.
