The City Of The Sun

The City of the Sun is a philosophical and political treatise written by Italian philosopher and theologian Tommaso Campanella in the early 17th century. The book is a utopian vision of a perfect society, described in great detail by Campanella through a dialogue between a Grandmaster and a Genoese sailor. The City of the Sun is a place where all citizens are equal, live in harmony with nature, and have access to all the resources they need. The society is governed by wise and just leaders, who are chosen based on their merit and virtue. The City of the Sun is also a place of great learning, where science, art, and philosophy are highly valued and pursued. Campanella's vision of the perfect society is heavily influenced by his religious beliefs, and he sees the City of the Sun as a reflection of God's will. The book has been highly influential in the development of utopian literature and political philosophy, and continues to be studied and discussed to this day.Capt. I have already told you how I wandered over the whole earth. In the course of my journeying I came to Taprobane, and was compelled to go ashore at a place, where through fear of the inhabitants I remained in a wood. When I stepped out of this I found myself on a large plain immediately under the equator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
