Utopia by Thomas More
This book is a fictional work that presents a detailed description of an ideal society on an imaginary island located in the Atlantic Ocean. The narrative is presented as a dialogue between the author's character and a traveler who has visited the island. The society described is devoid of private property, with citizens living in communal dwellings, and it promotes education, religious tolerance, and a welfare state. The book explores political, social, and religious customs, providing a critique of European society and offering an alternative model of social organization.
