Sir Thomas More is famous for his novel, Utopia. The novel is a conversation amongst three men, one of whom is a traveller. The traveller describes an island nation called Utopia to the other two men. In Utopia, everyone is engaged in active work exept for priests and government officials; and because so many people participate in productive labor, they only need to work six hours a day. Criminals and prisoners of war are enslaved. Most of the inhabitants alternate city and country living between two-year intervals. Each person owns only one pair of clothes, made of undyed linen or wool. Everyone wears the same style and type of clothing regardless of their social status. Groups of thirty families eat together in the same hall. Utopians
