The Faber Book of Utopias, Paperback / softback Book

The Faber Book of Utopias Paperback / softback

Edited by Professor John Carey

Paperback / softback

Description

Every age has its utopias, from Plato's Republic to contemporary sci-fi visions.

In this spellbinding anthology John Carey charts the course of every conceivable dream world - whether communist, fascist, anarchist, green, golden age, techno-fantastic or hermaphroditic - combining a broad historical sweep with lively variety.

An experienced and imaginative anthologist, editor of The Faber Book of Reportage and The Faber Book of Science, Carey has gathered together a vast range of texts from Ancient Egypt to modern California, the authors of which, in different ways, attempt to describe a better world than our own.
