More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering. \u003cbr\u003e But there has always been a shadow at the heart of \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease? \u003cbr\u003e In this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More s text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Mieville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today s most distinguished utopian writer and thinker..\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas More\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613829647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613829646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2010\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":43984625205503,"sku":"9781613829646","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d998a68b-9dd0-48c8-a8e8-1c8f71411ff8.jpg?v=1683273318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/utopia-thomas-more-9781613829646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
