Description
The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton is a thought-provoking novel that explores the idea of a hidden world beneath our own. In this groundbreaking work, Bulwer-Lytton delves into a range of intellectual and social issues, from the scientific to the religious, in order to shed light on the human condition. At its core, The Coming Race is a story about two distinct worlds: one above ground, where humanity struggles with its own limitations, and another below, inhabited by an enigmatic and powerful race known as the Vril-ya. This contrast between the two societies allows Bulwer-Lytton to examine various aspects of human society, including politics, language, and social norms. This edition of The Coming Race is accompanied by a wealth of historical materials that provide further insight into the novel's themes and ideas.
