William Dean Howells

A Traveler from Altruria:

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 11, 2017)
This dystopian classic presents a foreign visitor from the island of Altruria. Howells’ story allows readers to compare and contrast the inconsistencies, imperfections, and injustices of the society of the time and offers insight into the social and cultural issues facing the country still today. Dystopian Classic Editions publishes works of dystopian and utopian literature that have survived through the generations and been recognized as classics. A dystopian society is an imagined society in which the people are oppressed, however the government propagandizes the society as being a utopia or a perfect society. Typical themes in dystopian literature include public mistrust, police states, and overall unpleasantness for the citizens. Authors of dystopian works strive to present a worst-case scenario and negative depiction of the way things are in the story so as to make a criticism about a current situation in society and to call for a change. Each Dystopian Classic Edition selected for publication presents such a story.
