Unityspot.com Edward Bellamy is best known for the utopian novel Looking backward. THE These qualities were equal to the suffering and the death which came to him in the midst of his work, and cut him off from writing that one more book with which every author hopes to round his career. He suffered greatly, but he bore his suffering greatly; and as for his death, it is told that when, toward the last, those who loved him were loath to leave him at night alone, as he preferred to be left, he asked, "What can happen to me? I can only die." I am glad that he lived to die at home in Chicopee,in the village environment by which he interpreted the heart of the American nation, and knew how to move it more than any other American author who has lived. The theory of those who think differently is that he simply moved the popular fancy; and this may suffice to explain the state of some people, but it will not account for the love and honor in which his name is passionately held by the vast average, East and West. His fame is safe with them, and his faith is an animating force concerning whose effect at this time or some other time it would not be wise to prophesy. Whether his ethics will keep his aesthetics in remembrance I do not know; but I am sure that one cannot acquaint one's self with his merely artistic work, and not be sensible that in Edward Bellamy we were rich in a romantic imagination surpassed only by that of Hawthorne.

Extractions: Edward Bellamy The writer Edward Bellamy, b. Chicopee Falls, Mass., Mar. 26, 1850, d. May 22, 1898, is best known for his novel Looking Backward, 2000-1887 (1888), a critique of American capitalism. Bellamy depicts the utopian society of the year 2000, what he called a "cooperative commonwealth" in which competitive capitalism is dead. To a man miraculously transported into the future, Bellamy believed, the injustices of the 19th century would be apparent. The book inspired interest in socialism and led to the formation of Nationalist clubs, based on Bellamy's theories, that advocated the nationalization of public services.

Extractions: Era unha vez unha terra moi seca, chamada Raizame, e os seus habitantes tiñan necesidade de ir buscar auga a cotío para poder vivir. En Raizame non había lagos nin ríos, pero lonxe de alí atopábanse varios oasis, onde medraban grupos de palmeiras rodeadas de herba e de flores. Nalgúns deses oasis había mananciais de auga fresca e transparente que xurdían á superficie e formaban pociñas pouco fondas. Tódolos días, a xente de Raizame tiña que ir andando moitas leguas ata o manancial máis preto, para colle-la auga que necesitaban para beber e cociñar e para a limpeza diaria. Ás veces o caudal dos mananciais era tan baixo e había tanta xente collendo auga, que aqueles que ían algo tarde volvían para a casa cuns poucos gurruchos para as mulleres, os nenos e os vellos. Nunha ocasión un home de Raizame que fora a un oasis en busca da auga de cada día atopouse con que o manancial xa non botaba auga. Desesperado pola necesidade que tiña dela, deu en matinar e pensou que se nese lugar a auga xurdía normalmente, tiña que vir dunha fonte ou dun río subterráneo. Con esta idea na cabeza, colleu unha pa, e púxose a cavar. Despois de moitas horas de traballo, atopou un río subterráneo, que era a fonte do manancial. Meteu o seu caldeiro dentro do río que acababa de descubrir e bebeu a apracer.

Extractions: Edward Bellamy The novel was one of America's earliest bestsellers, over one million copies of which were sold. What's amazing is the fact that, by the standard of current best-selling works, the book is no "thrilling" reading at all. Consider, however, the book was written and published in the 1880s, the age of Robber Baron capitalism, and the novelist was imagining an utopian society where people have liberated themselves from chaotic individualistic economic oppression and lived in a society of equality and happiness. Considering the popularity of the book, obviously America hasn't always been the one that takes Ronald Reagan for a hero. What the book actually tells: Julian West, the main character, wakes up in year 2000, following a sleep of 113 years, to see an America drastically different from that of his own age, the 1880s, which, of course, was also the real times of the book's author, Edward Bellamy.

Extractions: Ad Astra science fiction : Millennial Reviews I Looking Backward: 1887-2000 -Edward Bellamy Millennial Reviews I by James Nicoll Looking Backward: 1887 - 2000 by Edward Bellamy Not terribly surprisingly very few of his predictions for the 20th century panned out. Bellamy was probably a happier man having died in 1897 than he would have been had he lived to be an old man in the mid part of the 20th century, as, oh, H.G. Wells did. Unlike a lot of books of this sort, I think there are a few places in the book where the incorrect assumptions he made are explicit: Large organisations are simpler than small ones and therefore less complex to run which leads in his view inevitably to monopolies forming without end and those monopolies being eventually best run as a single organisation. This might as well be the nation-state, since it would encompass the whole of any nation-state's economy. In Bellamy's future, the nationalisation happened entirely peacefully. He has a few other oddd views [Debt is bad. Credit is bad.] but I think the paragraph above is the foundation of the book. His utopia has something to offend everyone: All business is run by the state. All financial transactions are with the state as well. Although everyone has credit cards, only the owner of the card may use the money on it: credit can't be transfered to other people.
