Visions of Utopia in Bellamy's Looking Backward

Utopia's retrospective vision Edward Bellamy mentioned in his book "Backwards" many topics essential to the development of civilization. In the story, he talks about several different characteristics of the utopia over the past few years. "Universal harmony, assignment of occupations according to individual abilities, equal rewards, universal comfort and comfort, short working hours, control of laziness, competition, fight for life, and money" There (De Laveleye).

Waters believes that the power of thinking as a means of relaxed socialist utopia or new ideas will attract readers of Edward Bellamy's "retreat" of futuristic Victorian novels. Waters wrote in his less known new Christ in 1910. And I imagined a new idea - a philosophy of success in the United States - and a combination of Christian socialism. Get their beautiful houses, gardens, food-increasing land, have horses, carriages, cars and yachts, and home will have libraries, musical instruments, paintings and statues. He owns and uses him

At least this is the premise of the novel "Backwards 2000-1887" first published by former lawyer Edward Bellamy in 1888. There are not many people who know it now, but it was a huge bestseller that sells one million people a century ago. Hundreds of "Bellami clubs" have appeared in the US to achieve the vision of a writer, a fair and free society. Bellamy 's plan has become a plan for the People' s Party and has won hundreds of thousands of votes at the turn of the century. The next two generations of scholars and political thinkers believe that "backwardness" catches up with Marx's "capital theory" and is one of the most influential books of the century. Whether discussing Bellamy's idea or interest in Utopia, many other authors have expressed their views on the future of heaven. These include HG Wells, Anatole France, and (finally) Woody Allen of his movie "Sleeper".

Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) published a utopian love story about the future socialist society "to look back" in 1888. In Bellamy's utopia, property is common and money is replaced by an equal credit system for everyone. It is valid for one year and can not be transferred between individuals. Credit costs are tracked with "credit card" (Credit card is not related to cash credit card which is a tool for debt). The labor force is essential from 21 to 40 years old and is organized by various departments of industrial forces where most citizens belong. Due to technical progress (including organization), working hours are greatly reduced. People should be motivated by unity and religion, which is considered psychosis or "depression". This book was ranked second or third best seller at that time (after Uncle Tom's hut and Benharu)
