The third volume of the series “Utopia and Dystopia of the 20th Century” includes three brilliant novels - classic examples of the genre - “Heliopolis” (1949) by Ernst Jünger, which takes place in the distant future, when the eternal problems of man and society are still not eliminated despite the fact that humanity has conquered the Universe and has super-powerful weapons; “The City Beyond the River” (1946) by Herman Kazak is an existential novel that largely rethinks the worldview of Franz Kafka in the light of the history of our century; “The Republic of Scientists” (1957) by Arno Schmidt, satirically depicting the world of 2008 at the apogee of its development. The novels treat the fundamental problems of humanity. For lovers of fascinating science fiction and philosophical reading. The author's punctuation and spelling have been preserved.
