Utopia is the name given by Sir Thomas More to an imaginary island in this political work written in 1516. Book I of Utopia, a dialogue, presents a perceptive analysis of contemporary social, economic, and moral ills in England. Book II is a narrative describing a country run according to the ideals of the English humanists, where poverty, crime, injustice, and other ills do not exist.

First published in 1516, Utopia is a political and philosophical satire presented as a dialogue between More and the traveller Raphael Hythlodaeus. Raphael recounts his time visiting the island of Utopia, where private property ceases to exist, all citizens work, and the laws promote equality, education and religious tolerance. Through this imagined society, More indirectly challenges the injustices of European politics, and cleverly reflects on the meaning of justice, governance and what it takes to create a ‘perfect’ society.

Thomas More's Utopia stands out as one of the most striking political works ever written. Composed specifically as a response to Henry VIII's break with Rome, the book meditates on the perfect society while indirectly critiquing the political and social ills of Tudor England. Containing thoughts on religious pluralism, a welfare state, and women's rights, More's book was well ahead of its time, already hinting at later theories on communism and capitalism centuries before Marx, Engels, and Smith.

The book comprises two parts: Dialogue of Council and Discourse on Utopia. It is a work of fiction and satire by Thomas More (1478-1535), depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social, and political customs.

Utopia is a social and political satire, in the form of a traveler’s tale in an apparently blissful society based upon natural reason and justice. Sir Thomas More explores the role of philosophy—and unrealistic idealism—in government and offers a scathing analysis of the politics and society of his time.

A Modern Utopia is a 1905 novel by H. G. Wells. Because of the complexity and sophistication of its narrative structure, A Modern Utopia has been called "not so much a modern as a postmodern utopia." The novel is best known for its notion that a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai could effectively rule a "kinetic and not static" world state so as to solve "the problem of combining progress with political stability".

Thomas More's "Utopia" is a complex, innovative and insightful contribution to the development of political thought. The culmination of this work was a description of a country whose society lives according to the laws of nature, but is close to the ideas of the religion of Christianity - they have everything in common and gold is not valuable to them. Based on the ideas of Plato, St. Augustine and Aristotle, the Utopia novel has borne fruit, namely the dawn of new utopian and anti-utopian literature that includes the writings of such writers as Francis Bacon, Herbert Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Ourell.

Im 16. Jahrhundert träumte der englische Humanist Thomas Morus von einer besseren Welt. In seinem Hauptwerk "Utopia", das 1516 auf Latein erschien, beschreibt er einen fiktiven Inselstaat mit einer Gesellschaft der Gleichen, in der es weder Geld noch Privateigentum gibt. Nicht das Individuum zählt dort, sondern das Kollektiv. So berichtet zumindest der angeblich weit gereiste Begleiter Amerigo Vespuccis, der die paradiesische Insel mit eigenen Augen gesehen haben will. Mit eindringlicher Stimme macht Ulrich Matthes dieses "Utopia" lebendig, das namensgebend für ein ganzes literarisches Genre wurde.

In the dark and rainy dystopian megacity of Utopia, a journalist blunders into the heart of a shadow war raging between rival entities. Going undercover in the rival Commune, journalist George Mason must navigate political espionage and terrorism all under the threat of death or lobotomisation. Inside the colossal city walls, anything is possible and everything is permitted, provided you can pay the price.

Xenon Hybrid, the Red Planet’s ceremonial head-of-state, has not been seen for many years after withdrawing to an isolated enclave in the far north where he steadily built up a following of citizens seeking out an alternative lifestyle. They bother no one, and no one bothers them. But when an Earth-bound ship explodes on the launchpad in Jezero City, and the DNA from two bodies recovered at the site are found to be an exact match, Dr. Jann Malbec is convinced that they are the product of a covert cloning program.

In a land where reality twists into a surreal dance of nature and human folly, Manyatta stands as a beacon of an idealistic yet perplexing society.

This seemingly utopian realm, governed by the wisdom of nature and the fluidity of interpretation, beckons the curious and the unwitting alike. Through the eyes of its inhabitants, "Manyatta: The Utopian Illusion of Nature's Embrace" unravels a tale that challenges our perceptions of paradise and exposes the ...
