«Utopia» is the work of fiction and political satire by Sir Thomas More (La Llar del Llibre, 1988, 275 pages, in Catalan).
Written in 1516, it recounts the visit to a fictional island where an ideal society has been established: there is no private property, goods are held in common and communal life is the norm. Thomas More sets this imaginary republic against the European monarchies of his time to reflect on justice, equality and happiness.
For readers interested in political philosophy, classics of utopian thought and social satire.
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.
