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","short_description":"","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.
