Résumé
A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. The term was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the south Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America. The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia, which dominates the fictional literature. Dystopian fiction (sometimes combined with, but distinct from, apocalyptic fiction) offers the opposite: the portrayal of a setting that completely disagrees with the author's ethos.This book contents:The Republic by PlatoUtopia by Thomas MoreThe City of the Sun by Tommaso CampanellaThe New Atlantis by Francis BaconLooking Backward: 2000 to 1887 by Edward BellamyGulliver's Travels by Jonathan SwiftThe Iron Heel by Jack LondonWe by Evgeny ZamyatinNineteen Eighty-Four by George OrwellAnimal Farm by George Orwell
