Tungkol sa ebook na ito
In "A Summer Evening's Dream," Edward Bellamy crafts a vivid tapestry of idealism intertwined with social critique, set against the backdrop of an idyllic summer eve. Utilizing a lyrical style reminiscent of Romantic poetry, Bellamy weaves together elements of fantasy and social vision, drawing from the literary zeitgeist of the late 19th century. This novella invites readers into a reflective journey where dreams intermingle with the burgeoning Industrial Age, as it contemplates the transformative potential of human connection and empathy in an increasingly mechanized world. Edward Bellamy, an influential figure in American literature, was inspired by the socio-economic challenges of his time, which motivated him to envision a society founded on equality and shared prosperity. His previous work, "Looking Backward," set the stage for his exploration of utopian themes, while his literary ambitions were shaped by the social reform movements that characterized the era. This background deeply informs the romantic yet critical lens through which he explores interpersonal relationships in "A Summer Evening's Dream." Readers seeking a thought-provoking reflection on societal values and personal connections will find Bellamy's novella an essential and enchanting addition to their literary repertoire. Its timeless themes resonate with contemporary issues, urging readers to contemplate their own dreams of a better world.
Tungkol sa may-akda
Edward Bellamy (1850–1898) was a renowned American author and socialist, most famous for his utopian novel, 'Looking Backward: 2000-1887'. Born in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, to a family with a storied history of religious dissenters, Bellamy attended Union College but left before completing his degree. His early forays into literature and journalism reflected his interest in social reform. In 1888, Bellamy published 'Looking Backward', a novel that painted a vivid picture of a futuristic America transformed into a socialist paradise. The book's imaginative vision of a cooperative society made it a bestseller, leading to the establishment of 'Nationalist Clubs' that sought to realize Bellamy's vision. Besides his most famous work, Bellamy wrote several other novels and short stories, including 'A Summer Evening's Dream', which, like much of his work, delved into themes of social justice and the exploration of ideal societies. Bellamy's writing is characterized by a clear, incisive style and the ability to combine complex social commentary with engaging storytelling. His influence extended well into the 20th century, affecting social movements and inspiring a generation of utopian thinkers and writers. Bellamy's literature remains a significant body of work within the genres of political fiction and social science fiction.
