    About this ebook

    Utopia. A community or society possessing highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities. It may be a dream, but it's a dream that has inspired writers for thousands of years. Plato's "Republic" may be the very first utopia presented to a mass audience, but Thomas More coined the term with his 1516 book Utopia (included here), which describes a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. The term (and its antonym, dystopia) quickly entered the English language. And here are 19 other works, famous and not, featuring utopias and dystopias...works by Samuel Butler, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Anna Bowman Dodd, William Morris, Sir Francis Bacon, and many others. Included are:

    EREWHON, by Samuel Butler
    MOVING THE MOUNTAIN, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
    HERLAND, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
    EQUALITY, by Edward Bellamy
    CAESAR’S COLUMN, by Ignatius Donnelly
    THE REPUBLIC OF THE FUTURE, by Anna Bowman Dodd
    A CRYSTAL AGE, by W. H. Hudson
    A TRAVELER FROM ALTRURIA, by W. D. Howells
    FREELAND: A SOCIAL ANTICIPATION, by Dr. Theodor Hertzka
    MIZORA: A PROPHECY, by Mary E. Bradley Lane
    SOLARIS FARM, by Milan C. Edson
    LOOKING BACKWARD, by Edward Bellamy
    SOME PICTURES OF A SOCIALIST FUTURE, by Eugene Richter
    UTOPIA, by Thomas More
