Utopia

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.

The title De optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia literally translates, "Of a republic`s best state and of the new island Utopia".
