Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper discusses the forgotten science fiction novel entitled Goście z Marsa by Władysław Satke with regard to “racial” ideology of the turn of the century. It primarily focuses on reconstruction of the ideological and intertextual background with particular reference to the 19th-century typologies of “races” and scientific theories based on them. Furthermore, the article addresses the issue of utopia and its limitations as a literary genre.<br/><br/>
