Iron Heel Book Description Jack London's Iron Heel, published in 1907, is considered the first of the modern counter-utopian novels. The concept of counter-utopia, used to describe society in a totalitarian and oppressive system, is reflected in this book in the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. The Iron Heel, which also inspired George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, examines the changes that will take place in society and politics in the future. Although Jack London's prediction that there would be a collapse in the USA in the future did not come true, the author's views on international tensions coincide with the real history, albeit with a few years difference. This conflict, which started in 1913 in the Iron Heel, actually broke out in 1914. Moreover, London prophetically predicted not only the events of 1914 but also the events leading up to the Second World War; He expressed how the fascist structure would plunge the world into terror and what the revolutionary stance against this should be. Unfortunately, the passage of time confirms London's prophecies. Thin Cover: Number of Pages: 312Print Year: 2012e-Book: Number of Pages: 266Print Year: 2012Language: TurkishPublisher: Can Yayınları
