Podczas gdy na Ksiezycu trwaja konfrontacje z szernami, na Ziemie dociera dwoch Selenitow, ktorzy nie wierzyli w to, ze uznany za Zbawiciela Marek przybyl z mitycznej planety.Wydaje sie, ze Ziemia przelomu XXIX i XXX wieku to idealne miejsce do zycia – nie ma glodu, wojny, ludzkosc jest bogata i ulatwia sobie zycie, korzystajac na co dzien z roznych wynalazkow. Wciaz jednak istnieje wyrazny podzial na bogatych i biednych, burzuazja wyzyskuje nizsze klasy. Ponadto odbywa sie polityczna gra o bron masowej zaglady wynaleziona przez Jacka, glownego bohatera.Stara Ziemia to trzecia czesc Trylogii Ksiezycowej Jerzego Zulawskiego, wydana po raz pierwszy w 1911 roku. Uznawana jest niekiedy za krytyke socjalistycznej wizji swiata. Zulawski sceptycznie podchodzi do utopijnej wizji swiata, do fantastycznych programow naprawczych, pokazujac jednoczesnie zagrozenia, ktore zanikaja gdzies w zachwycie nad postepem.

A concise history of labor and work in America from the birth of the Republic to the Industrial Age and beyond From the days of Thomas Jefferson, Americans believed that they could sustain a capitalist industrial economy without the class conflict or negative socioeconomic consequences experienced in Europe. This dream came crashing down in 1877 when the Great Strike, one of the most militant labor disputes in US history, convulsed the nation’s railroads. In The Dawning of American Labor a leading scholar of American labor history draws upon first-hand accounts and the latest scholarship to offer a fascinating look at how Americans perceived and adapted to the shift from a largely agrarian economy to one dominated by manufacturing. For the generations following the Great Strike, “the Labor Problem” and the idea of class relations became a critical issue facing the nation. As Professor Greenberg makes clear in this lively, highly accessible historical exploration, the 1877 strike forever cast a shadow across one of the most deeply rooted articles of national faith—the belief in American exceptionalism. What conditions produced the faith in a classless society? What went wrong? These questions lie at the heart of The Dawning of American Labor. Provides a concise, comprehensive, and completely up-to-date synthesis of the latest scholarship on the early development of industrialization in the United States Considers how working people reacted, both in the workplace and in their communities, as the nation’s economy made its shift from an agrarian to an industrial base Includes a formal Bibliographical Essay—a handy tool for student research Works as a stand-alone text or an ideal supplement to core curricula in US History, US Labor, and 19th-Century America Accessible introductory text for students in American history classes and beyond, The Dawning of American Labor is an excellent introduction to the history of labor in the United States for students and general readers of history alike.
