عن المؤلف
Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) was an American author, journalist, and social reformer, best known for his utopian novel ‘Looking Backward: 2000-1887’. Born in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, Bellamy studied law but abandoned the profession to pursue a career in writing. His progressive views on social reform and economic structure found expression through his literature. ‘Looking Backward’ is his most celebrated work, depicting a tranquil socialist utopia where crime, poverty, and malaise have been eradicated. The book sparked a significant social movement in its time, leading to the establishment of ‘Bellamy Clubs’ and influencing a generation of thinkers and political activists. Apart from his hallmark utopian novel, Bellamy authored several other works, including ‘The Blindman’s World and Other Stories’, a collection of speculative short stories that delve into themes of philosophical and scientific interest. While not as widely recognized as ‘Looking Backward’, ‘The Blindman’s World’ showcases Bellamy’s talent for combining his visionary ideas with engaging narratives. His literary style often entwined the social critique with a strong plot and a keen insight into the human condition, captured within a prose that was clear and accessible. Bellamy’s influence extended beyond his lifetime, with his ideas contributing to the rise of the Progressive Movement and, subsequently, the New Deal era. His work remains a staple in discussions on social utopian fiction and economic theory in literature.
