City of the Sun

"City of the Sun" is a philosophical dialogue written by Tommaso Campanella in 1602. It describes a utopian city where all citizens are equal and live in harmony. The city is ruled by a philosopher-king who is elected by the people. The inhabitants of the city are free to pursue their own interests and live according to their own beliefs.
