Summary "Freeland: A Social Anticipation" by Theodor Hertzka is a socio-political narrative written in the late 19th century. It explores the establishment of an ideal community based on principles of liberty and economic justice, as envisioned by the International Free Society, a group aiming to address the pressing social issues of their time. The book is set against a backdrop of economic disparity and is narrated through the adventures of its characters, notably Karl Strahl, who leads a pioneering expedition to create a new society in Central Africa. The opening of the work introduces the concept behind the formation of the International Free Society, which aims to solve societal problems through collective action and mutual support. The text includes a call to arms for members to contribute towards the establishment of a new community free from existing social injustices. Dr. Strahl, backed by a growing membership base, organizes an expedition to find unclaimed land suitable for cultivation and settlement in Africa. As preparations unfold, the narrative sets up the ambitious journey that will entail both physical hardship and the forging of alliances with local tribes. The pioneers' journey is presented with a sense of purpose and excitement, framing the larger themes of exploration, cooperation, and the revolutionary potential of social change.
