📱 eBook en inglés IN THE FOURTH YEAR

In the Fourth Year is a collection of essays devoted to the post-war world by H.G. Wells. The eleven essays revolve around the idea of a League of Free Nations, the most creative and hopeful of political ideas, and comprise Wells beliefs on what has to be done for world peace to be achieved. The ideas presented in this book may be even more interesting to read now than when they were written as Wells goal of a democratic Germany did not take place after the First World War but his notions of fair international trade and a peaceful Middle East are still debated today. In the Fourth Year is an interesting, hopeful, and at times controversial book, and the concepts put forth in it remain influential to this day. It should be read by fans of Wells to garner a deeper understanding of the ideas that influenced his other work and by people interested in international relations.
