Description

A man falls into a deep sleep in 1890s England and remains unconscious for over two hundred years. During his long slumber, significant investments are made that make him incredibly wealthy and powerful upon his awakening. When he finally emerges from his trance, the sleeper is shocked to discover that his vast fortune has been used to maintain a society where most people are poor and nearly one-third of all individuals are enslaved. The masses cling desperately to the hope that the sleeper will awaken and lead them to freedom. Published by Penguin Books, this edition represents a significant work in the English-speaking world's literary heritage, offering authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
