Altruria is a novel written by Titus Keiper Smith and published in 1895. The book is set in a utopian society called Altruria, which is based on the principles of equality, cooperation, and communal living. The story follows the experiences of a young American couple, John and Mary, who are invited to visit Altruria by a wealthy friend. Once there, they are introduced to the Altrurian way of life, which emphasizes the importance of social justice, education, and the common good. As John and Mary become more immersed in Altrurian society, they begin to question the values and beliefs of their own culture, and ultimately must decide whether to stay in Altruria or return to America. The book explores themes of social reform, political ideology, and the role of the individual in society. Altruria was one of many utopian novels published in the late 19th century, reflecting a growing interest in alternative forms of social organization and political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
