Utopia (Everyman's Library)

Dreams come true in the conversation between Thomas More and Ralph Hythloday, the imaginary traveler of strange lands. The Utopia that emerges from his descriptions proves to be far more real and practical than the impossible fairy tale world that h as grown up around it since More's conversation was first published. Unlike England, with its terrible conventions of wealth and endemic crime, the island of Utopia lacks both private property and tyranny.
