A novel describing the intentional community of New Sparta (160-318) in Paraguay, which is obviously based on William Lane (1861-1917) and the New Australia experiment.

The anarchists kill all the others and most of the anarchists come to a bad end. Three of the dead pass through the River Styx to a spirit world of almost static perfection where all the perfected spirits of the past together with a few immortals live in their own civilizations, which have been stripped of their imperfections. Two of the anarchists are reformed and become the center of a good society on an isolated island, which is only briefly described.  See also 1893, 1902 and 1905 Nisbet.
