A jövő század regénye, 2. rész

by Mór Jókai

"A jövő század regénye, 2. rész" by Mór Jókai is a novel serialized beginning in 1872. Set between 1952 and 2000, this unconventional work imagines a future where the Hungarian-centered Monarchy faces invasion from an expansionist anarchist state called Nihil. Inventor Tatrangi Dávid's revolutionary technologies—including flying machines and a volcanic material called ichor—become crucial in defending against aggression. The narrative shifts from dystopian warfare to utopian peace as diplomatic and military victories reshape global politics, though the novel's ambitious scope remains debated by literary scholars.
