Utopias have been penned with diverse intentions: some as pictures of an ideal society, some as blueprints for action, yet others, especially in times of severe censorship, as covert criticisms of existing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarie Louise Berneri exposes the dark shadow that lingers above most utopian works by emphasising the intolerant and authoritarian nature of these visions, and she warns of the doom that awaits those foolish enough to put their trust in an ordered and regimented world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition is framed with an Introduction from Matthew S. Adams that situates Berneri's work in the context of her life, and concludes with an Afterword from Rhiannon Firth that extends Berneri's analysis into contemporary utopias. \u003cem\u003eJourney through Utopia\u003c\/em\u003e is a necessary companion, and in many cases an antidote, to imagined fictions from antiquity to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Louise Berneri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629636460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629636467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Marie Louise Berneri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233307218175,"sku":"9781629636467","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e26b405-833c-41ea-92c2-e8791ffc36e8.jpg?v=1728992649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journey-through-utopia-marie-louise-berneri-9781629636467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
