Book Synopsis A Modern Utopia (Unabridged) by : H. G. Wells
Download or read book A Modern Utopia (Unabridged) written by H. G. Wells. This book was released on 2024-01-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "A Modern Utopia (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. A Modern Utopia is presented as a tale told by a sketchily described character known only as the Owner of the Voice. This character "is not to be taken as the Voice of the ostensible author who fathers these pages," Wells warns. He is accompanied by another character known as "the botanist." Interspersed in the narrative are discursive remarks on various matters, creating what Wells called in his preface "a sort of shot-silk texture between philosophical discussion on the one hand and imaginative narrative on the other." Because of the complexity and sophistication of its narrative structure, H.G. Wells's A Modern Utopia has been called "not so much a modern as a postmodern utopia." The novel is best known for its notion that a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai could effectively rule a "kinetic and not static" world state so as to solve "the problem of combining progress with political stability." Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), known as H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games.

Book Synopsis A Modern Utopia by : H Wells
Download or read book A Modern Utopia written by H Wells. This book was released on 2012-10-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Modern Utopia (1905) is a work of fiction by H. G. Wells.H. G. Wells's proposal for social reform was the formation of a world state, a concept that increasingly occupied him throughout the remainder of his life. One of his earliest and most ambitious attempts at portraying a world state was A Modern Utopia (1905) (McLean).Like most utopians, he indicated a series of modifications which in his opinion would increase the aggregate of human happiness. Basically, Wells' idea of a perfect world would be if everyone were able to live a happy life.This book is written with an intimate knowledge of former ideal commonwealths and is a conscious attempt to describe a utopia that is not utopian.June Deery refers to A Modern Utopia as a work in progress for two obvious reasons: 1.It is about social and technological advance, and 2.Wells stresses that he is describing a dynamic utopia. This means that this modern society requires and allows further improvement.The work was partly inspired by a trip to the Alps Wells made with his friend Graham Wallis, a prominent member of the Fabian Society.A Modern Utopia was intended as a hybrid between fiction and 'philosophical discussion'.
