"Well," said he, "I have been so long engaged in the practical application of the process that I confess I can't realize any element of the strange or mysterious about it. To the eye of the philosopher nothing is wonderful, or else you may say all things are equally so. The commonest and so-called simplest fact in the entire order of nature is precisely as marvellous and incomprehensible at bottom as the most uncommon and startling. You will pardon me if I say that it is only to the unscientific that it seems otherwise.

Autorenporträt
American novelist, writer, and political activist Edward Bellamy (March 26, 1850 - May 22, 1898) is best known for his utopian novel Looking Backward. A large number of "Nationalist Clubs" were established as a result of Bellamy's optimistic outlook on a peaceful future. One of the 19th century's greatest financially successful works was his utopian masterpiece Looking Backward. Early in the 1890s, Bellamy founded a publication called The New Nation and started to promote joint action between the numerous Nationalist Clubs and the budding Populist Party. Edward Bellamy was born in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Bellamy studied for two semesters at Union College of Schenectady, New York. He briefly studied law but abandoned that field without ever practicing as a lawyer. Bellamy married Emma Augusta Sanderson in 1882 and had two children. At the age of 25, Bellamy developed tuberculosis, the disease that would ultimately kill him. He passed away when he was 48 years old. In 1971, his Massachusetts house of all time was named a National Historic Landmark. He has a street Bellamy Road in Toronto named after him.
