Looking Backward is a utopian fiction by Edward Bellamy, first published in 1887. Looking Back is one of the most remarkable books which sold more than 1 million copies in the first year of its release. Looking Backward and Its Sequels, (with an active table of contents), includes:
Looking Backward: 2000-1887 (1887) Equality (1898) Looking Further Forward, by Michaelis, Richard C (1890) Young West, by Solomon Schindler (1894) How I came to write Looking Backward (1889)
It inspired a less successful sequel, entitled Equality, more of a tract, and generally spurred movement in the United States and abroad. At one time, people even formed a party of Edward Bellamy in the Netherlands.
