Sobre este artículo
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1908. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 7x6x2. 2nd printing. Ink name and date on front endpaper. 1908 Hard Cover. xiv, 354 pp., [4] publisher catalog. Original blue cloth. 8vo. A dystopian novel which plays out capitalism run rampant to a possible future in which America is under the power of a fascist dictatorship (the Iron Heel). Socialism and capitalism clash throughout, and much of London's speculation bears a startling resemblance to the first half of the twentieth century. The Iron Heel is considered by many the first dystopian novel. It is also a possible source of George Orwell's title for his famous dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four: the footnote on p. 303 stated 'Asgard was not completed until 1984,' Asgard being the supposed Utopian city, which was actually built at the expense of many serfs' lives, and where many lived in poverty. Negley 703. Bleiler 1354.
Sinopsis
The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Generally considered to be "the earliest of the modern Dystopian," it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. It is arguably the novel in which Jack London's socialist views are most explicitly on display.
