Thomas More – Utopia
Folio Society edition, published 2011. Illustrated by Adam Simpson. Introduction by Peter Ackroyd. Translated and edited by George M. Logan and Robert M. Adams.

Bound in quarter cloth with patterned paper sides and gilt spine titling. Presented in a matching green slipcase. Cover design features a mirrored utopian city motif, artfully rendered in mid-century modern tones. The book includes full-page illustrations in a whimsical isometric style that visualizes the idealized world of Utopia. Printed on Abbey Wove paper by LEGO S.p.A., Vicenza, Italy.

Content:
A seminal work of political philosophy and satire, Utopia depicts a fictional island society and its religious, social, and political customs. More’s work remains a foundational text for utopian studies and critiques of contemporary governance.
