COPYRIGHT INFO | 3 A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Utopia . A community or society possessing highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities . It may be a dream, but it’s a dream that has inspired writers for thousands of years . ’s “Republic” may be the very first utopia presented to a mass audience, but Thomas More coined the term with his 1516 book Utopia (included here), which describes a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. The term (and its antonym, dystopia) quickly entered the English language . And here are 19 other works, famous and not, featuring and dystopias . . works by Samuel Butler, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Anna Bowman Dodd, , Sir Francis Bacon, and many others . My personal favorite utopian works is James Hilton’s 1933 nov- el, Lost Horison (filmed by Frank Capra). Both versions are well worth seeking out—but make sure you see the restored version of the movie, which adds significantly to the film. We can’t include Lost Horizon here because of copyright issues, but I do seek it out . Happy reading! Sample file —John Betancourt Publisher, Wildside Press LLC www .wildsidepress .com
