For Us the Living is a novel by Haakon Chevalier that was originally published in 1939. The story is set in the year 2086 and follows the character of Julian West, a man who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up in a future world where society has been completely transformed. In this new world, the government has taken control of all aspects of life, including the economy, education, and even personal relationships. As Julian tries to adjust to this new way of life, he meets a woman named Leila, who helps him navigate the intricacies of this new world. Together, they explore the history of how this society came to be and the struggles that led to its creation. The novel is both a science-fiction story and a political commentary on the dangers of totalitarianism. Chevalier uses the character of Julian to explore the idea of individual freedom and the importance of personal choice in a society that seeks to control every aspect of its citizens' lives. For Us the Living is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of freedom, love, and the struggle for individuality in a world that seeks to suppress it. It is a classic of science fiction literature and a must-read for fans of the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
