Endymion is the largest work by John Keats and was composed between April and November 1817. It was published in April 1818, and the critical reception was almost universally hostile. The plot is built around the ancient Greek legend of Endymion, the young shepherd whose beauty was such that the goddess of the Moon entreated Zeus to cast him into a permanent sleep so that she could gaze on him without interruption. Keats expands this story into an epistle on beauty and love, and weaves into it elements from several other Greek legends.

Japans Beispiel zeigt, was passiert, wenn ein Land die Grenzen des Wachstums erreicht und sich tiefgreifenden Reformen - insbesondere der konsequenten Öffnung der Wirtschaft für Frauen und Einwanderer - verweigert.
