Product Description

•••••

St. Thomas More imagines a utopian island community in his highly renowned and controversial work of fiction, Utopia, where people live in peace and harmony, men and women are equally educated, and all property is shared. More explores the theories behind war, political disagreements, social quarrels, and wealth distribution through dialogue and correspondence between the protagonist Raphael Hythloday and his friends and contemporaries, and imagines the day-to-day lives of those citizens who enjoy freedom from fear, oppression, violence, and suffering. This picture of a perfect future, originally written in Latin, is also a caustic critique of Europe in the sixteenth century and has been tremendously influential since publication, inspiring utopian literature even now.
