""News From Nowhere Or An Epoch Of Rest"" is a utopian novel written by William Morris in 1890. The book follows the story of William Guest, a man from the 19th century who wakes up in the year 2102 to find that society has been transformed into a socialist utopia. The story is set in a future where the Industrial Revolution has been reversed, and society has returned to a simpler way of life. Money has been abolished, and people work for the common good rather than for personal gain. The book explores the themes of socialism, environmentalism, and the importance of community. Morris's vision of a utopian society is one where people live in harmony with nature, where art and beauty are valued, and where everyone has equal access to education and the means of production. ""News From Nowhere Or An Epoch Of Rest"" is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider what a truly just and equal society might look like.""Well, then, property quarrels being no longer possible, what remains in these matters that a court of law could deal with? Fancy a court for enforcing a contract of passion or sentiment! If such a thing were needed as a _reductio ad absurdum_ of the enforcement of contract, such a folly would do that for us.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
