Utopia by Saint Thomas More
"Utopia" by Saint Thomas More is a work of fiction and socio-political satire written in Latin and published in 1516. Through frame narrative, More presents a fictional island society with distinct religious, social, and political customs. The work explores philosophical questions about governance, justice, and the ideal commonwealth. Book One examines the ills of contemporary Europe through dialogue, while Book Two describes the island of Utopia itself, discovered during travels linked to
real explorer Amerigo Vespucci. More blends fiction with reality to critique his own society's failings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
