The City of the Sun (1602) is a work of utopian fiction by Tommaso
Campanella. Written while the author was imprisoned in Naples for
his role in a conspiracy against Spanish rule in Calabria, The City
of the Sun is regarded as an essential work of Renaissance
political philosophy. Written in the tradition of Plato's Republic
and Timaeus, the text imagines a peaceful society ruled by a
theocratic monarchy and dedicated to communal values. "It is
divided into seven rings or huge circles named from the seven
planets, and the way from one to the other of these is by four
streets and through four gates, that look toward the four points of
the compass." Built with perfection in mind, the City of the Sun is
organized from the largest details down to the smallest. Each
citizen is employed, and no occupation is held in higher esteem
than another. There are no servants, four-hour workdays, and no
private goods or possessions. Everyone abides by a strict set of
rules designed to keep them happy and healthy, and important
decisions are made only after a painstaking analysis of the planets
and stars has been performed. Written in dialogue form, The City of
the Sun has intrigued and informed generations of political
thinkers around the world. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Tommaso
Campanella's The City of the Sun is a classic work of Italian
literature reimagined for modern readers.

Nevertheless she was not averse to receiving the attentions of
other men, and her belief that Yourii loved her gave her the elated
manner of a bride-elect, making her doubly attractive to other
admirers. She was powerfully fascinated by the presence of Sanine,
whose broad shoulders, calm eyes, and deliberate manner won her
regard. When Sina became aware of his effect upon her, she accused
herself of want of self-control if not of immodesty; nevertheless
she always continued to observe him with great interest.
