Más información sobre el libro

Set in a future America dominated by an oppressive oligarchy, the story follows Avis Everhard, who abandons her privileged life to join the resistance against a brutal regime. Through her rediscovered manuscript, the novel explores themes of class struggle and social injustice, reflecting Jack London's socialist beliefs. The narrative, primarily based in the San Francisco Bay Area, offers a haunting vision of tyranny and revolution, echoing concerns that remain relevant today. Its influence can be seen in later works, notably Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four."
