The book is a frame narrative primarily depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social, and political customs. More pieces his world together in great detail, taking pleasure in what makes his world different from our own. However, he wants the reader to take his story seriously, which is why he bases it in reality, saying it is a part of the \"New World,\" this being the parts of America and its surrounding islands which were recently discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of \u003cem\u003eUtopia\u003c\/em\u003e expresses strong criticism of then-modern practices in England and other Catholicism-dominated countries, such as the crime of theft being punishable by death, and the over-willingness of kings to start wars. Part two deals with a socialist state called Utopia and the narrator's aim of convincing the reader about its superior state of affairs. Since publication, \u003cem\u003eUtopia\u003c\/em\u003e has become one of the most talked about works both in defense of socialism and against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas More\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774760495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774760499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Engage Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Thomas More","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46906921877759,"sku":"9781774760499","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89daf8b0-baa5-43a9-9b15-ca31a0f16db2.jpg?v=1748771777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/utopia-deluxe-library-edition-thomas-more-9781774760499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
