Contiene
Poet, pattern-designer, environmentalist and maker of fine books, William Morris (1834-96) was also a committed socialist and visionary writer, obsessively concerned with the struggle to achieve a perfect society on earth. News From Nowhere, one of the most significant English works on the theme of utopia, is the tale of William Guest, a Victorian who wakes one morning to find himself in the year 2102 and discovers a society that has changed beyond recognition into a pastoral paradise, in which all people live in blissful equality and contentment. A socialist masterpiece, News From Nowhere is a vision of a future free from capitalism, isolation and industrialisation. This volume also contains a wide selection of Morris's writings, lectures, journalism and letters, which expand upon the key themes of News From Nowhere.

Overall I was disappointed, as Morris used Bellamy's structure and idea to present his own platform to promote socialistic ideals. I found the story dry; gardens, nature, working for the fun of working, no poverty, no currency, no smoking factories, no government, just rowing up the clean Thames towards the harvest fields. Just like Bellamy, Morris categorised explanations for education, sexual relations, religion, currency, etc, but Looking Backward was much more fun. Stick to the wallpaper. ( )
