L'Utopie

Book • 1715
Published in 1516, 'Utopia' by Thomas More is a frame narrative that describes a fictional island society.

The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a dialogue between More, his friend Peter Giles, and the traveller Raphael Hythloday, who describes the society of Utopia.

Utopia is depicted as an island with 54 identical cities, where there is no private property, and goods are stored in warehouses for common use.

The society is characterized by a welfare state, free education, and a strict work ethic, with all citizens working six hours a day.

The book critiques the social and political practices of More's time and prefigures some aspects of socialist and communist theories.
