Summary: "The Island of Anarchy: A Fragment of History in the 20th Century" by Waterhouse is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the socio-political upheaval and resulting chaos in a fictionalized version of England, where a youthful government takes drastic measures against crime and lawlessness, culminating in the expulsion of anarchists and felons to a newly risen island. The narrative addresses themes of governance, morality, and societal structure amidst a backdrop of anarchy and rebellion. The story begins with the portrayal of a disenchanted society marked by social disorder, leading to the establishment of a government composed solely of young individuals. This new government implements severe laws and exiles lawbreakers and anarchists to the island of Meliora, which becomes a refuge for these outcasts. As various groups settle on the island, conflicts erupt between different ideologies, leading to violence and chaos. The narrative reaches a climax with the destruction of their community by an external threat, prompting a unifying call to prayer led by a compassionate figure known simply as "Our Sister." The eventual descent into destruction raises questions about human nature, order, and the meaning of freedom, encapsulating a philosophical exploration of anarchy and communal living while providing commentary on the cyclical nature of society.
