Thomas More imagines a beautiful island community where multitudes live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and all property is common in his most well-known and contentious book, Utopia. More explores the theories underlying war, political disputes, social conflicts, and wealth distribution through dialogue and correspondence between the main character Raphael Hythloday and his friends and contemporaries. More also imagines the day-to-day lives of those citizens enjoying freedom from fear, oppression, violence, and suffering. This utopian vision, which was originally written in Latin, is also a biting satire of Europe in the sixteenth century, and it has had a significant impact on utopian fiction even today.
