Excerpt from The Fall of Utopia Satisfied with his evident sincerity, the dai proceeded to admit him successively, with all the accustomed oaths and securities, into each of the nine degrees, and he was finally confirmed a convert of Ismailis. Soon, however, Abdul Hassan wearied of his new religion. Surfeited curiosity became disgust. Deluded and imposed upon by such hollow mockery, he determined to reveal the mysteries he had sworn to keep. A simple renunciation was not sufficient for his resentful mind. He would expose the deception, in spite of ban or menace, and give Ismailis a fatal sting. The consequences were such as might naturally be expected. Never before had such treachery and sacrilege been known. The Prophet and the Silent One would be no longer venerable, and proselytes' gold would cease to flow into their common coffers. Actuated, therefore, by various incentives, the infuriated schismatics pursued Abdul Hassan with restless zeal.

Built in 1969, Metsamor, Armenia (then the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic), was intended as a settlement for employees of a nearby nuclear power plant to be completed between 1976 and 1980. But the power plant would never realize the ambitions of its creators. In 1988, an earthquake caused the facility to be shut down. In 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union prompted a complete construction freeze. The symbol of the dream of a technologically advanced nation, Metsamor remained incomplete and fell into decay undiminished by the recommissioning of the power plant in 1995. Utopia and Collapse documents the rise and fall of Metsamor. The book brings together an oral history of Metsamor with essays by Sarhat Petrosyan and a team of contributors and art and photographic research by Katharina Roters, including more than one hundred photographs. Among the topics discussed are Armenia's cultural and and architectural histories; the typology of Soviet atomograds, or atomic cities; and the phenomenon of modern ruins. Although today the power plant's workers live in a partly built failed utopia, Metsamor stands as examples of the highly idiosyncratic Armenian variety of Soviet Modernism of the 1960s and '70s, making this a fascinating story for anyone with an interest in Soviet-era buildings and architecture.

"With this ground-breaking book, Kenton V. Stone presents to North American readers one of the most intriguing writers to emerge out of Latin America in recent years, Uruguay's Carlos Martinez Moreno. Martinez Moreno started writing in the 1960s and achieved international reknown in 1981 when he was awarded Mexico's international fiction prize (by a panel including Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, and Ariel Dorfman) for his novel El color que el infierno me escondiera - a novel which, as the title suggests, takes the classic work of Dante Allighieri as its model. Stone's study of Martinez Moreno's novels has a dual purpose. The first purpose is to show that Martinez Moreno is a writer of the "Boom" in the Latin-American novel of the 1960s who deserves a revival in critical attention. The second purpose is to propose that new readings of his work extend beyond political protest to a study of Dantesque moral analysis - especially evident in El Infierno." "Once a utopian welfare state known to all as the "Switzerland of the Americas" for its democracy, pacifism, and prosperity, Uruguay succumbed to military rule in 1973. Martinez Moreno - along with compatriots Mario Benedetti, Eduardo Galeano, and Juan Carlos Onetti (among others) - had long predicted the demise of Uruguay's utopia in his novels. From 1973 until his death in exile, he took up the role of resisting - as novelist and attorney - what became the most ruthless regime of the "dirty wars" of Latin America in the 1970s, a regime that forced one-fifth of its citizens into prison or exile." "In Utopia Undone, Stone offers the reader an incisive analysis of Martinez Moreno's award-winning book and the novels that led up to its writing. He analyzes Martinez Moreno's works as they range from the Cuban revolution in El paredon (1963) to Bolivia's cocaine trade and Che Guevara in Coca (1968). Stone painstakingly points out the parallels between Martinez Moreno's craft and the deterioration of Uruguayan society, a process chronicled in his novels as la deca, "the decay." The reader is introduced to the Uruguayan author's life and times and how they were inevitably set on a collision course with what Roa Bastos calls Martinez Moreno's "revolutionary dream." Finally, Stone examines the end of Martinez Moreno's career - in exile in Mexico, bearing witness to Uruguay's largely overlooked diaspora with El Infierno, a monumental classic of the "literature of the disappeared" with a Dantesque devotion to truth and moral vision." "Utopia Undone was born in an interview Kenton V. Stone conducted with Martinez Moreno only months prior to the novelist's death in 1986 - the year Uruguay's democracy was restored."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

While walking in the Swiss Alps, two English travellers fall into a space-warp, and suddenly find themselves in another world. In many ways the same as our own - even down to the characters that inhabit it - this new planet is still somehow radically different, for the two walkers are now upon a Utopian Earth controlled by a single World Government. Here, as they soon learn, all share a common language, there is sexual, economic and racial equality, and society is ruled by socialist ideals enforced by an austere, voluntary elite: the 'Samurai'. But what will the Utopians make of these new visitors from a less perfect world?

The authors have structured five centuries of utopian invention by identifying successive constellations, groups of thinkers joined by common social and moral concerns. Within this framework they analyze individual writings, in the context of the author's life and of the socio-economic, religious, and political exigencies of his time.
