{"product_id":"utopia-60922","title":"Utopia","description":"Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More’s \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there has always been a shadow at the heart of \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More’s text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Miéville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today’s most distinguished utopian writer and thinker.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"paperback","offer_id":50250817372298,"sku":"lqf1789935491076","price":13.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ebook (UK)","offer_id":50250817405066,"sku":"ohe1789935491077","price":14.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ebook (US)","offer_id":50250817437834,"sku":"hzl1789935491078","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/9507\/4954\/files\/utopia_1.jpg?v=1789935494","url":"https:\/\/pulseformv.shop\/products\/utopia-60922","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
