It is set in a land of confederated tribes, without a king, where nothing is what it seems. Activated by dreams, it is sustained by lies. Its central theme is of immortality offered but denied because of love. The book appeals more to emotion than to logic, though its dreamy plot does make sense. The heroine is kidnapped because the Undying King desires her. People lie to the pursuing hero because they fear the King\u0026rsquo;s power. (There seems to be a vein of humour at the basis of the book.

In this work of his last years, Morris distilled many of his leading ideas on politics, art and society, imagining a world in which capitalism has been abolished by a workers\u0026#39; revolution and nature and society have become beautiful habitations for humanity. In an era that has seen the collapse of state socialism, Morris\u0026#39;s damning critique of this conception, and his positing of a powerful alternative, have important contemporary resonances.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3261\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiteraire synopsis\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNews from Nowhere\u003c/em\u003e schetst een utopisch beeld van een toekomstige communistische maatschappij. Morris liet zich inspireren door Ruskin en Marx en reageerde met dit boek op wat hij beschouwde als zielloze en mechanische visies op socialisme. In dit werk van zijn laatste levensjaren distilleerde Morris veel van zijn idee\u0026euml;n over politiek, kunst en maatschappij. Hij verbeeldde een wereld waarin kapitalisme omvergeworpen is door een revolutie van de arbeiders en waarin de natuur en de samenleving mooie plekken zijn geworden voor de mensheid. Morris\u0026rsquo; vernietigende kritiek op staatssocialisme en zijn stellingname voor een krachtig alternatief hebben hedendaagse weerklank voor een tijdperk waarin staatssocialisme ineengestort is.
