Excerpt from The Humours of Eutopia, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale of Colonial Times Skeuedo and Tassa went in a different direc tion. The old chief was more seriously amicted than any other, at the conduct of his daughter. His senses seemed to take flightz-l - he stood for a full minute in blank amazement; and was only re stored, in some measure, to the compos state by the pea] of triumph, with which his people pro claimed the heroism of the act. The first evi dence of returning sense, was his feeling for his tobacco-pouch; which. Being found, he charged his urn of incense - keeping his eyes fixed upon Tas sa - while another chief dexterously, and alrnost without the consciousness of Skenedo, imparted fire from the bowl of his own pipe, and set him most vigorously at work in his favourite cloud: compelling operation. After a few yolumes had rolled about his venerable head, he made two or three long strides toward his daughter; gave her a signal to follow, and turned off into the woods.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.

First published in 1516, during a period of astonishing political and technological change, Sir Thomas More's Utopia depicts an imaginary society free of private property, sexual discrimination, violence, and religious intolerance. Raphael Hythloday, a philospher and world traveler, describes to the author and his friend an island nation he has visited called Utopia (combining the Greek ou-topos and eu-topos, for "no place" and "good place," respectively). Hythloday believes the rational social order of the Utopians is far superior to anything in Europe, while his listeners find many of their customs appealing but absurd. Given the enigmatic ambivalence of the character that More named after himself and the playful Greek puns he sprinkled throughout (including Hythloday's name, which means "knowing nonsense"), it is difficult to know what precisely More meant his readers to make of all the innovations of his Utopia. But its radical humanism has had an incalculable effect on modern history, and the callenge of its vision is as insistent today as it was in the Renaissance. With an introduction by Jenny Mezciems.
