Summary "Yhdenvertaisuus" by Edward Bellamy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Julian West, a wealthy young man who falls into a deep sleep and awakens 133 years later in a transformed society marked by economic equality and the elimination of class distinctions. The book explores themes of social justice, equality, and the implications of capitalism versus communal ownership. The opening of "Yhdenvertaisuus" introduces the protagonist Julian West and hints at his previous life in the late 19th century, which is characterized by class disparity and economic hardship. After experiencing a hypnotic sleep intended to alleviate his insomnia, Julian awakens in the year 2000 to discover that society has radically changed into one where everyone is economically equal. The narrative begins to unfold as he discusses with Dr. Leete and his daughter, Edith, the transformation of America and engages in philosophical dialogue regarding the historical context and rise of this new social order. The subsequent discussions delve into the inadequacies of the past system and illuminate the contrast between Julian's former world and the ideals of this new society based on equality and shared prosperity.
