Book excerpt: Published in 1890, Cæsar's Column takes place in 1988 New York in a rotten society that has lost its morals. The main narrator, Gabriel Welstein, is a visitor from the Swiss colony of Uganda, a utopian agricultural society. He reveals he has come to the U.S. to avoid the global Wool Ring, which has monopolized the commodity. In the city, Gabriel intervenes to save a beggar, who is actually an attorney and a part of a brotherhood that works to destroy the corrupt ruling class. Most of the book is in the form of letters that Gabriel writes to his brother Heinrich. The intriguing story deals with the writer's thoughts on society, politics, and the concept of social Darwinism. He brilliantly portrayed a man who came from a rural background to the heart of a ruthless capitalist oligarchy, witnessed its corruption firsthand, and noticed its collapse.

Book excerpt: Caesar's Column By Ignatius Donnelly filled with the perfume of many flowers, and bright with the scintillating plumage of darting birds; all sounds of sweetness fill the air, and many glorious, star-eyed maidens, guests of the hotel, wander half seen amid the foliage, like the houris in the Mohammedan's heaven. But as I found myself growing hungry I descended to the dining-room. It is three hundred feet long: a vast multitude were there eating in perfect silence. It is considered bad form to interrupt digestion with speech, as such a practice tends to draw the vital powers, it is said, away from the stomach to the head. Our forefathers were expected to shine in conversation, and be wise and witty while gulping their food between brilliant passages. I sat down at a table to which I was marshaled by a grave and reverend seignior in an imposing uniform. As I took my seat my weight set some machinery in motion. A few feet in front of me suddenly rose out of the table a large upright mirror, or such I took it to be; but instantly there appeared We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: Ignatius Donnelly's Caesar's Column: A Story of the Future Introduction by Arthur Desmond A dangerously revolutionary futuristic novel with a dystopian theme in a New York setting. The book is luridly fascinating. 1988, New York, the scene of the story, is an earthly heaven, where man (or rather, capitalism) has brought nature under foot, and chained science to his car as a slave. Airships scour the atmosphere. Electricity threads the earth. Money is the only god, and human brotherhood has perished from off the face of the earth. One-seventh of the entire population riot in soulless luxury. The great bulk of the people lead and live the lives of brutes lower than the beasts that perish. Then comes the inevitable crash. Civilisation in the twentieth century totters over the brink of Tophet, and falls into an abyss of chaotic Sheol, in which all art, science, beauty and loveliness perish together. The French Revolution is a child's dream compared to the horrors conjured up by the writer of Caesar's Column. The outlook for humanity for thousands of years afterwards is blacker than midnight. To-day the ignorant mob triumphs over the brutal plutocracy. To-morrow it will starve. The day after it will devour its own flesh and blood; and civil government of the rudest kind will take long, long centuries to re-establish itself.
