Like the novels close contemporary - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) by Mark Twain - it describes a dream and time travel encounter between the medieval and modern worlds. However unlike Twain's vision of a violent and chaotic "Dark Age", Morris describes a positive image of the Middle Ages, seeing it as a golden, if brief, period when peasants were prosperous and happy and guilds protected workers from exploitation. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3688.mobi The Wood Beyond the World William Morris http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3626 urn:isbn:0345237307 en 1894 Novels Fantasy The Wood Beyond the World is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature. When the wife of Golden Walter betrays him for another man, he leaves home on a trading voyage to avoid the necessity of a feud with her family. His efforts are fruitless, as word comes to him enroute that his wife's clan has killed his father. As a storm then carries him to a faraway country, the effect of this news is merely to sunder his last ties to his homeland. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3626.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3626.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3626.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3626.mobi The Well at the World's End William Morris http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3628 urn:isbn:1598182986 en 1892 Novels Romance Fantasy Using language with elements of the medieval tales which were his models, Morris tells the story of Ralph of Upmeads, the fourth and youngest son of a minor king, who sets out, contrary to his parents' wishes, to find knightly adventure and seek the Well at the World's End, a magic well which will confer a near-immortality and strengthened destiny on those who drink from it. Although the novel is relatively obscure by today's standards it has had a significant influence on many notable fantasy authors. C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien both seem to have found inspiration in The Well at the World's End: ancient tables of stone, a "King Peter", a quick, white horse named "Silverfax", and a character named "Gandalf" are only a few, to say nothing of Ralph's journey home as denouement, anticipating the Hobbits' return and battle for the Shire. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3628.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3628.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3628.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3628.mobi News from Nowhere William Morris http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2415 en 1890 Novels Science Fiction Fantasy News from Nowhere (1890) is a classic work combining utopian socialism and soft science fiction written by the artist, designer and socialist pioneer William Morris. In the book, the narrator, William Guest, falls asleep after returning from a meeting of the Socialist League and awakes to find himself in a future society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. In this society there is no private property, no big cities, no authority, no monetary system, no divorce, no courts, no prisons, and no class systems. This agrarian society functions simply because the people find pleasure in nature, and therefore they find pleasure in their work. The book explores a number of aspects of this society, including its organisation and the relationships which it engenders between people. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2415.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2415.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2415.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2415.mobi O Pioneers!
