| Annotation | A eutopia inside the Earth discovered by a man and a woman escaping from slavery. In the eutopia, which had been established by Christ, everyone helps everyone else, but “It is a law of nature and the will of God that the black man serve the white; yet with us it is no servitude, neither is required of us if no one cares not to do it, there is no compulsion” (110). No politics, no commerce, and no death. There is, though, in addition, a brief depiction of Death, Sin, and the damned on their way to the Inferno. |
