WITH HUMOR AND COMMON SENSE A MODERN PHILOSOPHER SHOWS MANKIND A WAY TO THE GREATER ENJOYMENT OF LIVING…

In the year 2004 the heroine, an anthropologist, lands on an unknown and isolated Pacific island. Her plane is destroyed, so the renamed Eurydice finds herself compelled to join the Ruined Earth Utopian islanders.

In this gripping novel, which was first published in 1955, Chinese-U.S. author, essayist and academic Dr. Lin Yutang’s appears to formulate his conception of a world beyond the muddling of today in a world that has survived two more world wars, and inaugurated a new Democratic World Commonwealth, outside the limitations of national sovereignty. He makes the contact between this groping old world and an island community, dedicated to peace, isolation and immunity from world ills, exalting the virtues of culture, and surviving in a state of suspended animation with little or no government.
