While traveling in the Swiss Alps, a pair of Englishmen who are in the midst of a discussion about the possible types of Utopias find themselves suddenly transported into a parallel world — a planet seemingly identical to Earth, yet radically different, as they will learn. This Utopia exists as a single allied state, with a common language and perfect equality, under the rule of a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai. The travelers are mightily impressed by this harmonious society, but what will the Utopians think of their guests?
Better known for his formative works in science fiction, H. G. Wells also took a lively interest in politics and society. In this 1905 novel, the visionary author blends philosophical discussion with an imaginative narrative that offers a persuasive and ever-valid argument for his socialist ideals. This new edition of A Modern Utopia is enhanced with a series of atmospheric engravings from the original publication.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a professional writer and journalist who published more than a hundred books, including pioneering science fiction novels, stories, essays, and programs for world regeneration. He was a founding member of numerous movements, including Liberty and PEN International – the world's oldest human rights organisation – and his Human Rights laid the foundations for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wells' controversial and progressive views on equality and the shape of a truly developed nation continue to be directly relevant to our world today. Wells was, in the words of Bertrand Russell, "an important liberator of thought and action." Although best remembered for his groundbreaking science fiction novels, including The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man , and The Island of Doctor Moreau, Wells also wrote extensively on history, politics, and social affairs and was one of the greatest intellectuals of his time.
