Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20600 ratings)

Description:This is the remarkable history of New Harmony, Indiana, which in the last century was the scene of two utopias- Father Rapp's Harmony and Robert Owen's New Harmony, the one negative and dictatorial, the other positive and democratic. Father Rapp, German peasant and fanatical founder of his own heretical sect, based his community on superstition, endless work, and celibacy- thus insuring against its survival. Robert Owen, textile manufacturer and father of the British labor movement and of modern socialism, tried to form a community based on reason and nature, on the division of labor and its fruits. ANGEL IN THE FOREST is the result of years of study and research, but it is infinitely more than that: it is a work of the poetic imagination, an epic of the nineteenth-century search for social perfection. It is an extraordinary fusion of wit and high seriousness, and its perceptions of human folly and human dignity cut sharp and deep.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
