Summary "Le monde tel qu'il sera" by Émile Souvestre is a speculative novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the young couple Maurice and Marthe, who ponder the future of humanity while grappling with their own hopes and dreams amid the backdrop of Paris. This narrative explores themes of progress, love, and the social issues of the time, introducing a fantastical element with the character of John Progrès, who offers them a glimpse into the future. At the start of the novel, Maurice and Marthe are depicted in their modest attic room, engaged in deep conversation about their dreams for a better world, spurred on by their love for each other. As their dialogue unfolds, they express their dissatisfaction with contemporary societal conditions and their yearning for a more just and harmonious future. Their contemplation is interrupted by the sudden appearance of John Progrès, who informs them of his ability to transport them into the year 3000. As they consider his offer, the conversation shifts between their excitement and apprehension about what the future holds, laying the groundwork for the exploration of societal progress in the years to come.
