The Iron Heel

The USA, early 20th century. A powerful oligarchy comes to power, ruling through violence. It subjugates everyone, suppressing dissent. Seven hundred years later, historians discover a manuscript written by Avis Everhard, the wife of the resistance leader. It is she who presents the chronicle of events from those days until the era of brotherhood among people emerges as a result of countless uprisings. Published in 1908, this work by Jack London is one of the main dystopias in world literature. The image of the "iron heel" that rapidly descends upon humanity will find its reflection in many famous dystopian novels.
