Luther and William Tyndale.
´´Utopia´´
* "Utopia" a name he gave to the ideal and imaginary island nation, the political system
of which he described in Utopia, published in 1516.
* Written in Latvin
* In it a traveller, Raphael Hythlodeaus describes the political arrangements of the
imaginary island country of Utopia to himself and to Pieter Gillis. This novel describes
the city of Amaurote by saying, "Of them all this is the worthiest and of most dignity".
* Utopia contrasts the contentious social life of European states with the perfectly
orderly, reasonable social arrangements of Utopia and its environs (Tallstoria, Nolandia,
and Aircastle). In Utopia, with communal ownership of land, private property does not
exist, men and women are educated alike, and there is almost complete religious
toleration. Some take the novel's principal message to be the social need for order and
discipline rather than liberty
