Through dialogue and correspondence between the protagonist Raphael Hythloday and his friends and contemporaries, More explores the theories behind war, political disagreements, social quarrels, and wealth distribution and imagines the day-to-day lives of those citizens enjoying freedom from fear, oppression, violence, and suffering. Originally written in Latin, this vision of an ideal world is also a scathing satire of Europe in the sixteenth century and has been hugely influential since publication, shaping utopian fiction even today. n New translation n The previous Penguin Classics edition has sold more than 100,000 copies n Contains two new appendices: an example of contemporary travel literature and an adage by Erasmus thoMAs MoRe (1477/8–1535) was an English lawyer, philosopher, and statesman. In 1534 he was tried as a traitor at Westminster Hall for his refusal to accept the royal supremacy over the church and was later beheaded on Tower Hill. He was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1935. doMiniC BAkeR-sMith is an emeritus professor at the University of Amsterdam and the author of a book-length study of Thomas More’s Utopia.
