Description
 
The Easton Press, Norwalk Hardcover. A book by Sir Thomas More (also known as Saint Thomas More)--the English lawyer, statesman, author and a leading humanist scholar.

He coined the word "utopia"--a name he gave to an ideal, imaginary island nation. First published in 1516, UTOPIA, his most famous and controversial novel, describes the political arrangements of the imaginary island nation of Utopia (a play on the Greek ou-topos, meaning "no place", and eu-topos, meaning "good place"). More contrasts the social life of European states with Utopia. In Utopia, private property does not exist and almost complete religious tolerance is practiced. The book advocates the need for order and discipline, rather than liberty. The society described is almost totalitarian, and very far removed from present day ideals of freedom. So it goes. A very fine copy (7" x 10.25" tall) fully bound in genuine black leather elegantly blocked in 22kt gold.

 * Premium Leather
 * Silk Moire Endleaves
 * Distinctive Cover Design
