Utopia Or The Happy Republic: A Philosophical Romance is a book written by Thomas More in 1743. It is a work of fiction that describes an ideal society, or Utopia, where everyone lives in harmony and happiness. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is a dialogue between More and a traveler named Raphael Hythloday. Raphael tells More about his travels to a distant island where he found a society that was free from poverty, crime, and war. The second part of the book is a detailed description of the society that Raphael discovered. This society is based on communal ownership of property, a focus on education and the arts, and a system of justice that emphasizes rehabilitation rather than punishment. The book is considered a classic of political and social philosophy, and has influenced many thinkers and writers over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
