Amazon Review By alex soler 4/29/2003
Throughout the history of the world people have always dreamed of a better life. Though the views of a perfect world are dependent on an individual, Thomas More in his most famous work, Utopia, attempted to show the imaginary state that would be "ideal" for everyone. Or so it seems...Utopia, meaning in Latin "in no place", was written entirely in satire. More purposely filled Utopia with contradictions. While there were many colorful depictions of the imaginary Utopia, More also told exactly why Utopia could only exist where it had already been introduced: nowhere. That being said, Thomas More did accomplish many intriguing arguments against capital punishment- stated through the eyes of Hythloday. Overall the book was beautifully written, but un-careful readers' heads will spin, as the book is full of paradoxes
