«París en el siglo XX» is the science fiction novel by Jules Verne, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (182 pages, in Spanish).
Written in 1863 but unpublished until 1994, the novel imagines a Paris of the 1960s governed by technology and money. In this dystopia, young Michel Dufrénoy tries to defend his literary vocation against a society that has sidelined the humanities and rewards only efficiency. A reflection on progress and the value of culture.
The work was originally published as «Paris au XXe siècle»; the Spanish translation is by Julia Escobar, with a preface by Piero Gondolo della Riva.
A read for those interested in Verne, classic science fiction, and dystopias that anticipate the future from the nineteenth century.
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.
