About this ebook
A Crystal Age is one of the earliest science-fiction novels which deals with a utopia of the distant future. The first-person narrator, a traveler and naturalist, wakes to find himself buried in earth and vegetation. He comes across a community of people who live in a mansion together, under a foreign set of rules and cultural assumptions. He falls desperately in love with a girl from the community, but the very basis of their utopia forbids his ever consummating his desires.
About the author
W. H. Hudson (1841-1922)
William Henry Hudson was an author, naturalist and ornithologist. Born in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, he spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then the lawless frontier. After settling in England from 1875, he produced a series of ornithological studies and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside. Hudson is best known for his novel Green Mansions, published in 1904.
