Utopia

Thomas More

3.26 AVERAGE

challenging

This was not what I expected at all. The term utopia today has positive connotations, but More's Utopian society is not all that positive. With a heavy authoritarian hand, this communist society feeds off of the fear of public disgrace and public shaming. Some of the customs and laws present in Utopia were fascinating in that they're very different from any European counterpart. A great study on the psychology of the community and its power to subjugate the individual.

Très interessant a lire dans le contexte contemporain et le moyen âge … 

I absolutely hated this… but not as much as I hated Paradise Lost

i hate that i would thrive there

old people, man
