News From Nowhere Or An Epoch Of Rest: Being Some Chapters From A Utopian Romance is a novel written by William Morris. The book is set in the future, in a utopian society where there is no private property, no money, and no government. The story follows the protagonist, William Guest, a man from the 19th century who wakes up in this new world and is taken on a journey through the countryside by a group of people who live in this society. As they travel, Guest learns about the society's values, beliefs, and way of life. He discovers that people work together for the common good, and everyone has access to the resources they need. The society is based on the principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and respect for the environment. Throughout the book, Morris contrasts this utopian society with the capitalist society of the 19th century. He criticizes the social and economic inequalities of his time and imagines a better future where people live in harmony with each other and with nature. News From Nowhere Or An Epoch Of Rest: Being Some Chapters From A Utopian Romance is a classic of utopian literature and a seminal work of socialist thought. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring vision of a better world, and it continues to influence political and social movements today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
