"Dystopie (jako protiklad utopie) ukazuje společnost, jejíž občané jsou neskrývaně utlačováni politickým systémem. Dystopický román se tak pohybuje na pomezí společenské fikce a nelichotivého zrcadla nastaveného společenskému vývoji."
Example sentences:
Jersilda je dystopický román o mladom, nevinnom chlapcovi ako, Hucklebbery Finn, ktorý cestuje po svete, zničenom výbuchom atómovej vojny, a snaží sa vytvoriť si pre seba priestor plný lásky a bezpečia. (Eurozine)
Jeho prvé diela odzrkadlovali jeho záujem o enviromentálne témy a nenásilné riešenia konfliktov. Z jeho diel sú najznámejšie série kníh The Stainless Steel Rat (čes. Ocelová krysa) a Bill, the Galactic Hero (čes. Bill, galaktický hrdina). Známy je aj jeho dystopický román Make Room! Make Room! (Wikipedia Harry Harrison)
