The volume demonstrates the scope of utopian thinking and the
enduring significance of past utopian fictions and historical
events as potentially contributing to a more comprehensive
understanding of the contemporary reality. The essays examine the
concept of utopia in a variety of contexts, such as philosophy,
translation, music, social and political issues, like workers'
movements and ideology, exploring global utopian fiction from
medieval Persian poetry, through late 19th- and early 20th-century
narratives, to contemporary Russian and British dystopian novels.
Taken together, the texts attest to the lasting allure of the
hopeful utopian visions as well as to the pertinence of the
dystopian warnings contained in the darker fictive scenarios and
social speculations.
