Utopian civilization description, build around a god-awful (pardon the pun) monastery build like a fortress. Boring as hell (oops there i go again ;) ). ( ) CRISTIANÁPOLIS Johann Valentin Andreae (1586-1654), pastor luterano humanista y poligrafo, es conocído principol mente por su vinculación con los Manifiestos Rosacruces, de los que es el autor casi con seguridad, y también, aunque mucho menos, por su obra Cristianópolis, un escrito utópico en que expone el programa para una genuina Fraternidad Rosocruz o sociedad cristiana. Esta utopía es la primera de cierta enverga dura que se produce en el ámbito protestante y refleja con fidelidad las aspiraciones religiosas y sociales de la Reforma temprana, aspiraciones que habían sido formuladas de manera provisional y embrionaria en la Fama y la Confessio, los dos documentos fundacionales del movimiento rosacruz. En contra de lo que suele repetirse, Cristianópolis es una utopia completamente original, muy superior en su propio género tanto a la ciudad del Sol de Campanella, a la que no imita en absoluto a la Nueva Atlántida de Bacon, por la que más bien es imitada en algunos aspectos fundamentales. La traducción que aquí ofrecemos es la primera que se hace al castellano, directamente basada en el texto latino de la original de 1619. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Johann Valentin Andrere (1586-1654) was a multi-faceted product of late Reformation Germany. A theologian who was firmly committed to the Lutheran confession, he could yet see very c1early the flaws in his church and argue for their reform; without being an ecumenicist in the modern sense, he yet admired many aspects of the society he observed in Calvinist Geneva, and he recognised the outstanding merit of individual Catholic scholars. A linguist and a lover of art and music, he was the friend of scientists and an enthusiastic student of mathematics whö held that science leads both to an appreciation of the wonders of the material world and its rejection in favour of more spiritual concerns. In his satirical writing he could be ironic and flippant, his rhetoric was often laboured and over elaborate, but there is no mistaking the sincerity of his outrage at cruelty, inhumanity and injustice. Andrere was optimistic, in that he believed that the corruption and deceit, the luxm. y and deprivation, the hypocrisy, tyranny and sophistry of the age could be transformed in a second reformation; yet there runs through his life a deep-rooted pessimism or depression which makes his willingness to continue the struggle all the more admirable. As early as 1618, while still a young deacon at the beginning of his career, he defined the four ages of l human life as terror, error, labor and horror.
