FOR the purpose of introducing myself to those readers of this book, who are not familiar with the contents of "Looking Backward", edited by Mr. Edward Bellamy, I will recapitulate the remarkable events of my life up to the end of that extraordinary narrative.Born in Boston on the 26th day of December 1857, I was baptized Julian West, was educated in the schools and colleges of my city, but, being in possession of a handsome fortune, did not devote myself to any particular profession or trade. I became engaged to Miss Edith Bartlett, a young lady of great beauty, and it was our intention to marry as soon as my new house should be ready for occupation. The completion of the building was frequently delayed by strikes of masons and carpenters, and I occupied still the old fashioned house, where my family had lived for three generations.Suffering from insomnia, I had prepared in the basement and under the foundations of the old building, a large vault, where the noises of a great city would not disturb me. This vault was absolutely fire-proof, and fresh air was assured by means of a small pipe running up to the roof of the house.To obtain sleep I was frequently forced to avail myself of the services of a mesmerist, and it happened that on the 30th day of May 1887, after two sleepless nights, I sent my colored servant Sawyer to a Dr. Pillsbury, whom I was in the habit of employing. The doctor was about to leave the city to establish himself in New Orleans, and this was therefore the last time he would be able to treat me. I instructed Sawyer to rouse me at nine o'clock the next morning, and under the manipulations of the mesmerist I soon fell into a deep slumber.When I opened my eyes again I found that I had slept 113 years, 3 months, and 11 days.I discovered that the old house had been destroyed by fire and that Sawyer had perished in the flames. Dr. Pillsbury had left Boston, the existence of the vault where I slept was unknown to my friends, the house had not been rebuilt and so I remained in a mesmerized condition for over a hundred years, until a Dr. Leete, the occupant of a house which was being erected on a part of the old lot, commenced to build a laboratory and unearthed my vault in the year 2000.

Excerpt from Looking Beyond: A Sequel to "Looking Backward," by Edward Bellamy, and an Answer to "Looking Further Forward," by Richard Michaelis This, in his book, Looking Backward, Mr. Bel lamy very ably has done. Of course, the author of that book never made pretension of being a prophet or a dictator, decreeing laws for future generations; his idea evidently was to show in a series of pic tures how, by general and scientific co-operation, an equitable system could be instituted, the thousand fold misery of human beings tainting the present system be abolished, and the welfare of all indi viduals of the human species be accomplished. If this was his object, he certainly was successful, and the immense circulation of Looking Backward shows that he struck a chord in the hearts of Ameri can and English speaking people.

Looking Further Forward by Richard C. Michaelis (or Looking Further Forward: An Answer to Looking Backward). This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. Michaelis is German-born author in America for many years, whose Looking Further Forward: An Answer to Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy is a Sequel by Other Hands to Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) that mocks the socialist society presented in the original as a Dystopian nightmare on the verge of collapse; thought control is rife, and a revolution soon topples Bellamy's dream state.

Many critical shifts in concepts of time and society's consciousness of modernity were derived from the railway and World Standard Time in the nineteenth century. These innovations restructred the way people viewed the world and dealt with "public" and "private" time. The forward, projectile motion along a linear track mimicked the passage of public chronological time. Conversely, the train also invoked a private, nostalgic view of tim as the traveler was yanked from his/her traditional view of the space/time continuum via the train's velocity. Travelers observed the landscape "disappear" in their backward glance from the window--although the landscape and interior compartment's space remained stagnant. This optical illusion caused passengers to perceive the world in new ways. Thus, the train unveils a conflictive blend of nostalgia and progress in the River Plate, as these countries move forward, but look back.
