Description

Utopia is a novel written by Sir Thomas More based on fiction and socio-political satire.

Thomas More describes a utopian island nation in this well-known book, where thousands of people live in harmony and peace, both men and women receive an education, and all property is shared.

This utopian vision, which was originally written in Latin, is also a biting satire of Europe in the sixteenth century, and it has had a significant impact on utopian fiction even today.

The story tells about More's journey to Antwerp as an ambassador for England and King Henry VIII is depicted in the book.

When not performing his formal duties, More spends time, talking with his friend Peter Giles about intellectual topics.

One day, More witnesses Giles conversing with a bearded man whom he believes to be a ship's captain.

Raphael Hythloday, a new individual whom Giles quickly introduces to More, is revealed to be a philosopher and a globetrotter.

For dinner and conversation, the three men go to Giles' home, where Hythloday starts to talk about his adventures.

To know about his adventures, readers must read this book which will describe their conversation!
