Through dialogue and correspondence between the protagonist  Raphael Hythloday and his friends and contemporaries, More explores the  theories behind war, political disagreements, social quarrels, and  wealth distribution and imagines the day-to-day lives of those citizens  enjoying freedom from fear, oppression, violence, and suffering.  Originally written in Latin, this vision of an ideal world is also a  scathing satire of Europe in the sixteenth century and has been hugely  influential since publication, shaping utopian fiction even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
