Abstract
The present thesis is a comparative study between three well-known contemporary utopian novels by the British Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932), the American Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle (1963) and the Egyptian Nihad Sherif’s Qaher Azzaman (1972). The aim of this study is to find out how and why these utopias were written and also to show how these utopias were products of specific socio-political background, namely, the First and Second World Wars which were often followed by totalitarian states based on dictatorships and the 1967 Egyptian defeat which revealed a miserable and poor status quo. Marxism as presented by Pierre Macherey in his book A Theory of Literary Production (1978) will be resorted whenever needed to show how and why the utopias in the three selected novels were logical outcomes of the historical moments that produced them
