Utopia (Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia, A little, true book, both beneficial and enjoyable, about how things should be in the new island Utopia) is a work of fiction and socio-political satire by Thomas More (1478-1535), written in Latin and published in 1516. The book is a frame narrative primarily depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social, and political customs. Many aspects of More's description of Utopia are reminiscent of life in monasteries.The original name was even longer: Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia. This translates, A truly golden little book, no less beneficial than entertaining, of a republic's best state and of the new island Utopia.Utopia is derived from the Greek prefix ou- (ο¿), meaning not, and topos (τ¿πος), place, with the suffix -ia (-¿a) that is typical of toponyms; hence the name literally means nowhere, emphasizing its fictionality. In early modern English, Utopia was spelled Utopie, which is today rendered Utopy in some editions.In English, Utopia is pronounced exactly as Eutopia (the latter word, in Greek Ε¿τοπ¿a [Eutopia], meaning good place, contains the prefix ε¿- [eu-], good, with which the ο¿ of Utopia has come to be confused in the English pronunciation).[4] This is something that More himself addresses in an addendum to his book Wherfore not Utopie, but rather rightely my name is Eutopie, a place of felicitie.
