Utopia. Thomas More

Utopia - Thomas More

Thomas More's «Utopia» is one of the most influential books in western literature. Within «Utopia» is described an idealized island community upon which perfect social harmony has been achieved. On this island all property is community owned, violence is nonexistent and everyone has the opportunity to work and live in an environment of religious tolerance. Many social movements throughout history have drawn upon More's work for inspiration. While possibly unachievable Thomas More's «Utopia» gives a vision of what could be.
