From History to Myth, from Parody to Antiutopia
The Science Fiction of Karel Čapek and Aleksej Tolstoy
Abstract
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.
