A Crystal Age by William H. Hudson
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: Hudson wrote in the final decades of the 19th century this brilliant science fiction and trailblazing story of a pastoral utopia that harbors a dark secret. A young man is transported into the future, to a changed earth where men live in peace with each other and in harmony with the planet. As he struggles to come to grips with the contrast with his old life, he falls in love with one of the women of the family who have ‘adopted’ him. W.H. Hudson’s classic fantasy describes his vision of a dystopian future.
Regaining consciousness, half-buried by a landslide after a fall in the mountains, a young man awakens groggy and confused and finds himself in a landscape he hardly recognises, it has changed dramatically. Wandering through the country in search of a means to return to civilisation, he is given shelter by a family living in a great house in the middle of the wilderness. Trying to explain who he is and where he comes from he finds that his world is completely unknown, and his descriptions are regarded as delusions of a mind deranged by his recent fall. What Smith has found instead is a gorgeous utopian vision of a peaceful world made real. Humans live in accordance with nature, respectful of the land and animals, untethered by technology. The cause of this new order is an alternate hierarchy of humanity that Smith must learn to adhere to—or face the consequences. As he struggles to learn the rules and customs of a society very different from his own he falls in love with one of the daughters of the house, but when he tries to tell her, he realizes the most important difference between his former world and his new one: romantic love no longer exists.
