  • "The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Anthony Meredith, a scholar in about the year 2600 AD (or 419 B.O.M. - the Brotherhood of Man), annotates the "Everhard Manuscript", an account that chronicles the years from 1912 to 1932 when the great "Iron Heel" oligarchy rose to power in the United States."
  • ""Set in the future, The Iron Heel describes a world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a powerful Oligarchy that retains control through terror. A manuscript by rebel Avis Everhard is recovered in an even more distant future, and analyzed by scholar Anthony Meredith. Published in 1908, Jack London s multi-layered narrative is an early example of the dystopian novel, and its vision of the future proved to be eerily prescient of the violence and fascism that marked the initial half of the 20th century."-- From back cover."
  • "Americký spisovatel zachytil v tomto svém románě z r. 1907, psaném pod dojmem ruské revoluce 1905, všechny stíny v Americe vládnoucího společenského řádu, bezohledně kořistícího z práce dělnictva. Železná pata je název, jenž."

  • "The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Generally considered to be "the earliest of the modern Dystopian," it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. It is arguably the novel in which Jack London's socialist views are most explicitly on display. A forerunner of soft science fiction novels and stories of the 1960s and 1970s, the book stresses future changes in society and politics while paying much less attention to technological changes ..."@en
  • "The novel criticizes the harsh working conditions existing at the time and that is sharpened to lawlessness by capitalist governments of the world. More than a review of the future, it is a prophecy. London considers the creation of the Talón de Hierro as the last link in capitalist history unavoidable, due to the concentration of economic power derived from the creation of monopolies, and announces the creation of a social caldera impossible to control."

  • "The novel is based on the fictional ""Everhard Manuscript"" written by Avis Everhard which she hid and which was subsequently found centuries later. In addition, this novel has an introduction and series of (often lengthy) footnotes written from the perspective of scholar Anthony Meredith."@en
  • "It cannot be said that the Everhard Manuscript is an important historical document. To the historian it bristles with errors not errors of fact, but errors of interpretation. Looking back across the seven centuries that have lapsed since Avis Everhard completed her manuscript, events, and the bearings of events, that were confused and veiled to her, are clear to us. She lacked perspective."@en
  • "In this harrowing tale of class warfare that merges science fiction and fantasy, a powerful state organization known as "The Iron Heel" is determined to crush the working class -- at any cost."

  • "London's socialist temperament leaps from the pages in this 1908 dystopian novel which begins by alerting the reader that the two main characters will, by the end of the story, be executed. In this portrait of the future, the U.S. is ruled by the Brotherhood of Man, an Oligarchy, and revolts amongst the squashed are imminent."
  • "Written in 1908, this novel about class struggle anticipates the political upheavals of the 1930s and beyond."@en
  • "Part science fiction, part dystopian fantasy, part radical socialist tract, Jack London's The Iron Heel offers a grim depiction of warfare between the classes in America and around the globe. Originally published nearly a hundred years ago, it anticipated many features of the past century, including the rise of fascism, the emergence of domestic terrorism, and the growth of centralized government surveillance and authority. What begins as a war of words ends in scenes of harrowing violence as the state oligarchy, known as "the Iron Heel," moves to crush all opposition to its power. First time in Penguin Classics Includes introduction and explanatory notes."@en

  • "Utopický román, napsaný r. 1907 v době, kdy J.L. pod dojmem ruské říjnové revoluce z r. 1905 se stává revoluč. socialistou. Formou zápisků ženy americ. revolucionáře, utopicky zachycujících dobu asi od r. 1910 do r. 1932 a publikovaných pomyslně kolem r. 2600, sonduje sociální síly své doby a snaží se předpovědět jejich další vývoj. Železná pata je název pro imperialisticky vyhrocenou oligarchii, kt. usurpuje vládu v USA, zotročí pracující lid a snaží se udržet kapitalistický systém. Líčí zradu oportunistických odborářských vůdců, vznik ochránců oligarchie - "žoldnéřů", a provokace, připomínající Hitlerovo zapálení říšského sněmu. Nedocenil však úlohu strany děln. třídy: po zradě odborářských vůdců odchází socialistická strana do podzemí, odkud se omezuje na teroristické akce jednotlivců - anarchistů z řad intelektuálů. Revoluci připravuje na předem stanovený termín a když provokací agentů Železné paty předčasně vypukne, snaží se ji strana zadržet. Masy dělnictva líčí jako surový "dav", podtrhává jejich nízké instinkty, a celou revoluci budoucnosti vidí jako obraz zkázy. Román je však významný pro zlomky marxistického učení, které prošlehují v diskusích hlavní postavy, revolucionáře Arnošta Everharda. (Podle předmluvy J. Bílého k čes. vyd. z r. 1949.)"

  • "John Griffith "Jack" London was born John Griffith Chaney on January 12th, 1876 in San Francisco. His father, William Chaney, was living with his mother Flora Wellman when she became pregnant. Chaney insisted she have an abortion. Flora's response was to turn a gun on herself. Although her wounds were not severe the trauma made her temporarily deranged. In late 1876 his mother married John London and the young child was brought to live with them as they moved around the Bay area, eventually settling in Oakland where Jack completed grade school. Jack also worked hard at several jobs, sometimes 12-18 hours a day, but his dream was university. He was lent money for that and after intense studying enrolled in the summer of 1896 at the University of California in Berkeley. In 1897, at 21, Jack searched out newspaper accounts of his mother's suicide attempt and the name of his biological father. He wrote to William Chaney, then living in Chicago. Chaney said he could not be London's father because he was impotent; and casually asserted that London's mother had relations with other men. Jack, devastated by the response, quit Berkeley and went to the Klondike. Though equally because of his continuing dire finances Jack might have taken that as the excuse he needed to leave. In the Klondike Jack began to gather material for his writing but also accumulated many health problems, including scurvy, hip and leg problems many of which he then carried for life. By the late 1890's Jack was regularly publishing short stories and by the turn of the century full blown novels. By 1904 Jack had married, fathered two children and was now in the process of divorcing. A stint as a reporter on the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 was equal amounts trouble and experience. But that experience was always put to good use in a remarkable output of work. Twelve years later Jack had amassed a wealth of writings many of which remain world classics. He had a reputation as a social activist and a tireless friend of the workers. And yet on November 22nd 1916 Jack London died in a cottage on his ranch at the age of only 40. Here we present Iron Heel."@en
