【 摘 要 】

This article attempts to examine the utopian literature of the nineteenth century, approaching more directly the imaginary societies devised by Étienne Cabet, in the novel titled Voyage en Icarie (1842). This more specific analysis is preceded by a brief introduction to utopian literature since the XVI century – recovering comparatively propositions of authors such as Thomas More, Campanella, Francis Bacon, Fourier, Saint-Simon, and Robert Owen –, besides a theoric discussion about the models of equality distribution, in this case considering the reflections of Norberto Bobbio and Amartya Sen on this topic. The work of Cabet is addressed in their contexts, and is justified because they concern a bridge between literature and society, since this works have aroused great interest of readers of the time and even inspired a motivation for carrying out specific utopian experiments.
