Publisher: Good Press
Summary
Step into the visionary world of Tommaso Campanella's 'The City of the Sun', an extraordinary philosophical work written in the early 17th century. In this thought-provoking dialogue between a Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller and a Genoese Sea-Captain, Campanella paints a mesmerizing portrait of a theocratic society inspired by Plato's Republic and the mythical Atlantis. The country, named the City of the Sun, is the setting where a utopian dream unfolds, where communal ownership of goods, women, and children creates a harmonious existence.
