Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More's Utopia remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering.
But there has always been a shadow at the heart of Utopia. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease?
In this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More's text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Mi¿ville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today's most distinguished utopian writer and thinker.

Too good to be true

Great attempt to describe the perfect civilization, but sadly history proved us incapable of such system. I also admire that More, despite being dead for about 500 years now, has not less if not more wisdom about life than many people in today's society.
So i suggest for those who read this book, to read the letters included in the book, as well.
