1922 was the year of publication of two important science-fiction novels: Karel Čapek’s Továrna na absolutno (The Absolute at Large) and Aleksej Tolstoy’s Aèlita. The paper aims to propose an analysis of these two examples of middlebrow literature to highlight the relationships between History, Myth, parody, and anti-utopia.
