Abstract

This paper investigates the similarities and differences between these four literary works, apparently distant and dissimilar, around the concept chosen to explore of non-place or utopia, even if its emergence and development does not occur in the same ways. Imagination also enters here as a key and central aspect of both the chosen works and this paper, which seeks to propose the weaving of a bridge between them through an exercise in comparative literature. To do this, a utopian reading of the chosen works will be proposed, and the presence of the utopian and the imagination will be analyzed, to conclude that these create the realities addressed in these works.
