Comparative Literary Analysis and Criticism

Modesto Brocos (1852-1936) was a remarkable painter from Santiago de Compostela who emigrated at an early age to Brazil, where he lived, held in high regard, up to his death.In 1930 he published in Valencia, in Castilian, his only work of fiction, an unobtainable Voyage To Mars which is a true socialist utopia.That whole world is established as a single global state, of which he details all that goes from a Constitution to Municipal Ordinances, through the administration of justice, education, health and Women's Rights, with only one race and one language, and as peculiar a institution as the Agricultural Army or the Humanitarian Sisters.
