Il tallone di ferro by Jack London
"Il tallone di ferro" by Jack London is a dystopian novel published in 1908. In early twentieth-century America, a rising socialist movement threatens to win power, prompting conservatives to seize control and establish a brutal dictatorship called the Oligarchy. Told through the manuscript of Avis Everhard, whose transformation from skeptic to believer mirrors the nation's descent into tyranny, the novel chronicles a failed uprising against an iron-fisted regime. London's prophetic vision influenced
George Orwell and remains one of the earliest modern dystopian works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
