Highly Desirable: Tales of London’s super-prime property from the Secret Agent

Product Information

During the 16th century, Thomas More's book Utopia proposed an ideal society of the same name. [18] Readers, including Utopian socialists, have chosen to accept this imaginary society as the realistic blueprint for a working nation, while others have postulated that Thomas More intended nothing of the sort. [19] It is believed that More's Utopia functions only on the level of a satire, a work intended to reveal more about the England of his time than about an idealistic society. [20] This interpretation is bolstered by the title of the book and nation and its apparent confusion between the Greek for "no place" and "good place": "utopia" is a compound of the syllable ou-, meaning "no" and topos, meaning place. But the homophonic prefix eu-, meaning "good," also resonates in the word, with the implication that the perfectly "good place" is really "no place."

A gloriously entertaining glimpse behind the closed doors of the high-end house market. I never knew property could be so riveting' - PRUE LEITH These mythical or religious archetypes are inscribed in many cultures and resurge with special vitality when people are in difficult and critical times. However, in utopias, the projection of the myth does not take place towards the remote past but either towards the future or towards distant and fictional places, imagining that at some time in the future, at some point in space, or beyond death, there must exist the possibility of living happily.

This goodness theme is advanced most definitively through the promise of a renewal of all creation, a hope present in OT prophetic literature (Isa. 65:17–25) but portrayed most strikingly through Revelation's vision of a "new heaven and a new earth" (Rev. 21:1). There the divine king of creation promises to renew all of reality: "See, I am making all things new" (Rev. 21:5). It is indeed fascinating for a glimpse into how this people business works amongst estate agents and the rich. The inter personal dynamics. What I find interesting is to see that the estate agents get to travel and hang out with their clients. The boundaries of business and friendship are blurred at time. The fact that the rich lets the estate agents into their lives and seek/give life advice is a reflection of their own loneliness in the world of the rich.

An Ecotopian Lexicon (2019), edited by Matthew Schneider-Mayerson and Brent Ryan Bellamy. University of Minnesota Press. ISBN 978-1517905897. From Sir Philip Sidney's prose romance The Old Arcadia (1580), originally a region in the Peloponnesus, Arcadia became a synonym for any rural area that serves as a pastoral setting, a locus amoenus ("delightful place"). A utopia ( / j uː ˈ t oʊ p i ə/ yoo- TOH-pee-ə) typically describes an imaginary community or society that possesses highly desirable or near-perfect qualities for its members. [1] It was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, which describes a fictional island society in the New World. It can also refer to an intentional community.
