Resultados para "Utopia" en Literatura y ficción

En el siglo XVI, Tomás Moro publicó su obra Utopía, nombre de una isla fic-ticia y artificial construida en el continente americano. Quinientos años después, el filántropo y millonario Thomas Franklin, descendiente de una de las familias más poderosas de Estados Unidos, decide fundar una sociedad inspirada en la que Tomás Moro describió en su obra. En una isla situada entre Cuba y Haití, el polifacético señor Franklin crea su propia Utopía, una sociedad tecnológica y avanzada.

Después de sobrevivir a un atentado que estuvo a punto de acabar con sus planes megalómanos, Thomas Franklin ha llegado a la cúspide de su prestigio y reconocimiento mundial. Los gobiernos de todo el planeta y la Iglesia católica han terminado rindiéndose a su liderazgo político y moral. Ahora su poder va mucho más allá de la pequeña isla caribeña de Utopía, donde creó una sociedad ideal basada en los principios de la obra de Tomás Moro. En apenas dos años ha construido la Ciudad de la Luz, en el corazón de los Estados Unidos.

Thomas More alcanzó la inmortalidad por su rígida postura religiosa contraria a la del rey Enrique VIII. Esto también le costaría la vida. Ejemplo de conducta y convicción, Moro debe su prestigio a una obra fundamental: Utopía (1516), un relato satírico sobre la vida en una isla de ficción llamada así. En esta isla, los intereses de los individuos se encuentran subordinados a los de la sociedad como conjunto, todos sus habitantes deben desempeñar un trabajo, se practica la enseñanza universal y la tolerancia religiosa, y la tierra pertenece a todos.

Im 16. Jahrhundert träumte der englische Humanist Thomas Morus von einer besseren Welt. In seinem Hauptwerk "Utopia", das 1516 auf Latein erschien, beschreibt er einen fiktiven Inselstaat mit einer Gesellschaft der Gleichen, in der es weder Geld noch Privateigentum gibt. Nicht das Individuum zählt dort, sondern das Kollektiv. So berichtet zumindest der angeblich weit gereiste Begleiter Amerigo Vespuccis, der die paradiesische Insel mit eigenen Augen gesehen haben will. Mit eindringlicher Stimme macht Ulrich Matthes dieses "Utopia" lebendig, das namensgebend für ein ganzes literarisches Genre wurde.

First published in 1516, Utopia is a political and philosophical satire presented as a dialogue between More and the traveller Raphael Hythlodaeus. Raphael recounts his time visiting the island of Utopia, where private property ceases to exist, all citizens work, and the laws promote equality, education and religious tolerance. Through this imagined society, More indirectly challenges the injustices of European politics, and cleverly reflects on the meaning of justice, governance and what it takes to create a ‘perfect’ society.

In diesem Werk, das 24 Jahre nach der Entdeckung Amerikas entstand, lässt uns der Londoner Rechtsgelehrte Thomas Morus Einblick nehmen in ein Land, in dem „Menschen in vernünftig und weise geordneten Verhältnissen“ leben.

Thomas More's "Utopia" is a complex, innovative and insightful contribution to the development of political thought. The culmination of this work was a description of a country whose society lives according to the laws of nature, but is close to the ideas of the religion of Christianity - they have everything in common and gold is not valuable to them. Based on the ideas of Plato, St. Augustine and Aristotle, the Utopia novel has borne fruit, namely the dawn of new utopian and anti-utopian literature that includes the writings of such writers as Francis Bacon, Herbert Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Ourell.

Sir Thomas More's Utopia has spurred debate, reflection, and critical thinking since its original publication in the 16th century. More's fictional island of Utopia provides an exploration of issues that shook him and his contemporaries and that continue to be problematic in the modern day.

L'"Utopia" di Thomas More rappresenta a pieno titolo il prototipo moderno della letteratura utopistica e visionaria. Suddiviso in due parti, l'audiolibro è incentrato sul dialogo di More con Raffaele Itlodeo ("il chiacchierone"). Questi, gran viaggiatore, esordisce con la descrizione a tinte vive dell'Inghilterra dell'epoca. Il fenomeno delle recinzioni, dell'espropriazione delle terre comuni a opera della nobiltà terriera, aveva condotto sul lastrico vaste componenti della società inglese, soprattutto i contadini.

Utopia is a social and political satire, in the form of a traveler’s tale in an apparently blissful society based upon natural reason and justice.
