«Utopía» is the satirical work of fiction and political philosophy by Tomás Moro, published by Rialp in paperback (206 pages, in Spanish).
Through the sailor Raphael Hythloday, Tomás Moro presents a fictional island society with religious, social and political customs opposed to those of the Europe of his time; the contrast serves as a critique of the established order and a proposal for an alternative system. It invites reflection on human freedom and collectivist ideals.
The work was originally published in Latin in 1516; the present Spanish edition dates from December 1989.
For readers of political philosophy and classics, interested in utopias and sixteenth-century social criticism.
Sir Thomas More, venerated in the Catholic Church as a martyr and saint, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, theologian and Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord Chancellor from October 1529 to May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, which describes the political system of an imaginary island state.
