This is the America to which Julian West, a young Bostonian, awakens after more than a century of sleep. West's initial sense of wonder, his gradual acceptance of the new order and a new love, and Bellamy's wonderful prophetic inventions - electric lighting, shopping malls, credit cards, electronic broadcasting - ensured the mass popularity of this 1888 novel. But however rich in fantasy and romance, Looking Backward is a passionate attach on the social ills of nineteenth-century industrialism and a plea for social reform and moral renewal. In her introduction, Cecelia Tichi discusses how the novel echoes the anguish and hopes of its own age while it embodies a sustaining myth of the American literary tradition-that man's perfectibility is attainable in the New World.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward Bellamy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100162547936,"sku":"9781404313835","price":115.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/51eCGv9r9iL._SY522.jpg?v=1781715876","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/looking-backward","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
