La race future by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton
"La race future" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written in the late 19th century. This speculative fiction explores the potential future of humanity, focusing on the lives of a civilization that has developed underground and is contrasted with the flawed societal structures of the present world. The book introduces us to the protagonist, who encounters and interacts with the Vril-ya, a race of highly advanced beings that have achieveda harmonious existence free from the conflicts and struggles that characterize contemporary life. At the start of the novel, the narrator recounts his background, including his family's past in America and their failed political aspirations. He embarks on an exploration of a mine where he is drawn deeper into its mysteries, ultimately discovering a vast underground world inhabited by the Vril-ya. This initial portion details his sense of wonder and dread as he learns about this new society, the strange beings he encounters, and the secrets housed within the depths of the earth. The opening sets the stage for a philosophical exploration of civilization, progress, and the implications of a utopia devoid of adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
