Resumo:
This work is mainly aimed at comparing three of the main dystopian novels written in the first half of the twentieth century: We (1924) by Yevgeny Zamyatin, Brave New World (1932) written by Aldous Huxley and 1984 (1949) written by the english novelist and journalist George Orwell. We re not only interested to think of how these works were shaped by either set of historical pressures, but rather trying to reflect especially if and how these works may also have a common propositional dimension to all of them. Draws up from that effort, the category of the aesthetic of prognosis, built inside the critical and essayistic thought of Aldous Huxley himself. Starting from the work of Huxley and then testing the strength of this category of aesthetic of prognosis compared to the other two novels, we were able to understand how fiction works to build a staging that aims to be more than mere acting. Want to be itself a kind of realism of the future, called by us the dystopian realism. But this realism did not find the peak of its representation of reality in literature prophesying (predicting) the means by which the society of the future will develop, but on the construction of the central protagonists issues: love and death.
