It follows the narrator, who finds himself stuck in frigid temperatures while passing a fortnight in his wife's family homestead in New England.

Про автора

Edward Bellamy (1850–1898) was a renowned American author and socialist, most famous for his utopian novel, 'Looking Backward 2000-1887'. Born in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, Bellamy studied law but quickly turned his attention to journalism and eventually, literature. His literary contributions are often marked by a vision of a harmonious future, where society has overcome the ailments of the nineteenth-century industrial capitalism. Although 'The Cold Snap' is lesser-known compared to his utopian works, it reflects his keen eye for social issues and his interest in the lives of ordinary people. Bellamy's writing style is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and the seamless weaving of his social and political ideas into compelling narratives. 'Looking Backward' sparked a movement of Nationalism, where supporters formed 'Bellamy Clubs' to discuss the social reforms depicted in the novel. His other notable works include 'Dr. Heidenhoff's Process' and the sequel to his seminal novel, 'Equality', both of which further elaborate on his thoughts on social reform and economic equality. Bellamy's utopian vision had a lasting impact on the genre and continues to be studied by scholars of literature and social history for its prescient ideas on economic and social organizations.
