Utopia (Latin: Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia, "A little, true book, not less beneficial than enjoyable, about how things should be in a state and about the new island Utopia") is a work of fiction and socio-political satire by Thomas More (1478–1535), written in Latin and published in 1516. The book is a frame narrative primarily depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social and political customs. Many aspects of More's description of Utopia are reminiscent of life in monasteries.
Interesting book, though a little bit below my expectations (hhmm... always the expectations...).
In the edition I read, I found more interesting than the novel, a brief essay from Ursula K. Le Guin: I didn't know this writer and discovering her has been a great surprise.
