"Utopia" is a work of fiction and socio-political satire by Thomas More,
written in Latin and published in 1516. The book is divided into two parts:
"Book one: Dialogue of Council," and "Book two: Discourse on Utopia." The
first book tells of the traveller Raphael Hythlodaeus, to whom More is
introduced in Antwerp, and it also explores the subject of how best to counsel
a prince, a popular topic at the time. The second book has Hythloday tell his
interlocutors about Utopia, where he has lived for five years, with the aim of
convincing them about its superior state of affairs. Utopia is a society
without private property, where goods are stored in warehouses and people
request what they need. All able-bodied citizens must work, and there is no
unemployment. Scholars in the society can become the ruling officials or
priests, people picked during their primary education for their ability to
learn. Slavery is a feature of Utopian life, and it is reported that every
household has two slaves. The work seems to have been popular, if
misunderstood, since the introduction of More's Epigrams of 1518 mentions a
man who did not regard More as a good writer.
