Caesar's Column is a dystopian novel written by Ignatius Donnelly in 1890. The story is set in the future, where the world is ruled by a powerful oligarchy called the Great Trust. The protagonist, a journalist named Marcus, discovers a hidden underground city beneath New York, where a group of rebels live. The rebels are fighting against the Great Trust and the oppressive society it has created. Marcus joins the rebels and falls in love with their leader, a woman named Evelyn. Together, they plan to overthrow the Great Trust and create a new, more just society. The novel explores themes of social injustice, political corruption, and the struggle for freedom and equality. It is considered a classic of early science fiction and a precursor to later dystopian works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.The most awful shrieks I ever heard broke from him; and the next moment his limbs seemed to lose their strength, and he fell in a heap on the floor; then he rolled over and over; mighty convulsions swept through him; he groaned, cried, shrieked, foamed at the mouth; there was a sudden snorting sound, and he stiffened out and was dead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
