II. About the author and the story:
Author:
The Man
in Asbestos is an allegory of the future written
by Stephen Butler
Leacock (1869-1944),
the Canadian author, who will long be remembered
for his
best-selling
book
Sunshine
Sketches
of
a
Little
Town
(1912)
as
well
as
the
numerous
awards
and
honours
he
received
during
his
illustrious
lifetime
as
author,
professor,
lecturer and humourist.
Story:
In this futurist
story, there are observations of human nature
which are as
refreshing
today
as
when
they
were
written
in
1911.
Leacock
describes
a
world
where
the
inhabitants are clad in long-wearing suits of
asbestos; where death has been
eliminated, although a person can be
broken; and where only a vestigial memory of
Work
remains,
anything
requiring
effort
was
accomplished
centuries
ago
-
in
short,
a
perfect world it is.
The original
ending of the story:
with the hum of
the wicked, busy old world all about me, and loud
in my ears
the voice of the indignant
man across the corridor.
earth.
I came.
Ask students to retell the story,
according to the following key words: sleep, a
strange man, death and food, city and
nature, word and cars, communication, wake
up.
Ⅲ
. Understanding of the text
1.
The main idea and style.
Such
momentous (big) problems as hunger, war, disease,
natural disasters and
inequality
are
what
gives
life
interest,
fullness
（
ric hness
）
and
purpose;
in
other
words,
these are
the things that make us human.
(The reasoning has been
considered
as
a justification of the status quo and a plea for
the end of human progress.
On the
other hand, the article perhaps does raise a
thought-provoking question.
Problems
arise while human beings are developing thus we
have to continue to work
hard, to make
painstaking efforts, to run risks, and to suffer.
Pain, anxiety,
failure
and
sacrifice
will
still
be
part
of
human
experience.
Indeed,
a
world
without
these is
not only impossible, but also undesirable.
The genre of the story is a
genre common in the West during the 20th century,
which could be called “literary
dystopia” (the opposite of Utopia
) The Man in
Asbestos paints the future in darkly
pessimistic colors.
In the “new society”
presented by Leacock, there is no
hunger, war, or disease; natural disasters and
gender inequality have been eliminated,
but life is dull, empty and meaningless.
Style:
The
story
was
originally
told
by
the
strange
man
and
retold
by
Jorkens.
The
whole
story is written in the direct speech,
thus the write adopts a colloquial style.

distant future and
be a witness of its
marvels.(para.2)

you get the clue to the author

Where did you first notice
that it was science fiction?

long time.
