Utopia (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The work of Thomás More Utopía, first published in 1516. The structure of the work is simple. The author talks about what Pedro Gilles and he scurried to an explorer, Rafael Hitlodeo, about what he saw on an island called Utopia. On that island there is a government in the form of a Republic where the social base is the family, the political base is the popular representation, the labor base the common work and the economic base the communism of goods. The capital of the island is Amaurota (from the Greek "without walls") and the Anhidro River (without water). Written in the Latin cult of the Renaissance, throughout the work there are other terms included by More that come to reform that "placeless": abraxas, nusquam, Eutopia, Hagnopida, etc. It is a revolutionary work for the sixteenth century, which practically begins a genre and must be framed at the time. Thomás More was born in London on February 6, 1478. His life is marked by three reigns in England - Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII - and it was a turbulent time, which mediates between the end of the Two Roses War and the beginning of religious conflicts in Europe with the appearance of Luther's Reformation.
