Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 4, 2017)
The Republic is a Socratic dialogue by Plato that discusses the meaning of justice and examines whether the just man is happier than the unjust man by imagining a society ruled by philosopher-kings and the guardians. According to Plato a democratic society means: “Equality of political opportunity and freedom for the individual to do as he likes” Plato’s Republic can help us view dystopias through an entirely different lens.Dystopian Classic Editions publishes works of dystopian literature that have survived through the generations and been recognized as classic works of literature. A dystopian society is an imagined society in which the people are oppressed, however the government propagandizes the society as being a utopia or a perfect society. Typical themes in dystopian literature include public mistrust, police states, and overall unpleasantness for the citizens. Authors of dystopian works strive to present a worst-case scenario and negative depiction of the way things are in the story so as to make a criticism about a current situation in society and to call for a change. Each Dystopian Classic Edition selected for publication presents such a story.
