Podrobnosti o e‑knize
In "A Traveler from Altruria," William Dean Howells delves into the societal contrasts between the idealistic and the pragmatic through the eyes of an enigmatic traveler from a utopian society. Through the lens of realism, Howells masterfully critiques contemporary American life and its moral dilemmas, employing a conversational style that bridges philosophical discourse and narrative storytelling. The novel is set against the backdrop of late 19th-century America, a period marked by economic transformation and social upheaval, which serves to amplify the traveler'Äôs observations about materialism, complacency, and the longing for a more equitable society. William Dean Howells, often referred to as the "Dean of American Letters," was a pivotal figure in American literature, known for his advocacy of realism as a narrative technique. His deep commitment to social issues, informed by his experiences in the rapidly evolving American landscape, shaped his viewpoints. Influenced by the complexities of modernity and human experience, Howells sought to challenge and inspire readers to reflect on their values and societal norms, guiding his creation of this thought-provoking work. "A Traveler from Altruria" is an essential read for those interested in the interplay between utopian ideals and societal realities. Howells' insightful critique encourages readers to examine their own beliefs and the societal structures they inhabit, making it both a timeless and relevant text for contemporary discussions on morality, community, and the quest for a better world.
