    "Cæsar's Column" by way of Ignatius Donnelly is a dystopian novel published in 1890 that offers a gripping exploration of social and political problems of its time. Set in a destiny America in which the commercial capitalist system has led to excessive inequality and struggling, the story revolves across the protagonist, Gabriel Weltstein, a doctor from New York. He turns into disenchanted with society's route and embarks on an adventure to explore alternative ideologies. The narrative takes a flip when Weltstein discovers a hidden and superior society underneath the floor of the Earth, led by a mysterious determine named Cæsar. This subterranean civilization has evolved an egalitarian and communal machine in stark contrast to the oppressive global above. Donnelly uses the novel as a platform to critique the rampant capitalism, social injustices, and political corruption of the Gilded Age. Through Weltstein's studies and the revelations of the subterranean society, the author delves into themes of utopia, dystopia, and the ability effects of unchecked electricity. "Cæsar's Column" stands as a powerful work of speculative fiction, addressing societal troubles that remain applicable. Donnelly's narrative serves as a cautionary story, urging readers to ponder the results of unchecked electricity and the importance of social duty.

    • On November 3, 1831, Ignatius Loyola Donnelly was born and died on January 1, 1901. He was an American Congressman, populist writer, and fringe scientist. He is mostly known for his crazy ideas about Atlantis, Catastrophism (especially the idea that an ancient impact event changed the lives of ancient societies), and who wrote Shakespeare. A lot of people think these works are examples of fake science and history. The words of people like Helena Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, and James Churchward from the late 1800s and early 1900s are similar to Donnelly's. Donnelly was the son of Philip Carroll Donnelly, who moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Fintona, County Tyrone, Ireland, and made it his home. The author Eleanor C. Donnelly was his sister. On June 29, 1826, Philip married Catherine Gavin. Catherine was the daughter of John Gavin, who had also come to America from Fintona, County Tyrone, Ireland. Philip first worked as a salesman and then went to the Philadelphia College of Medicine to become a doctor. Catherine took care of her kids by running a pawn shop. Ignatius, her younger son, got into Central High School, which is the second oldest public high school in the United States and is known for being very good. He studied there under the leadership of John S. Hart and did especially well in literature.
