4.9/5 (34151 ratings)

Her choice of examples are: Plato's 'Republic,' More's 'Utopia,' and Andreae's 'Christianopolis' as types of classical thought; and Bellamy's 'Looking backward,' Wells's 'A modern Utopia,' and Howells' 'A traveller from Altruria' and 'Through the eye of the needle' as forms of modern thought.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
