Sir Thomas More (1477 - 1535) was the first person to write of a  'utopia', a word used to describe a perfect imaginary world. More's book  imagines a complex, self-contained community set on an island, in which  people share a common culture and way of life. He coined the word  'utopia' from the Greek ou-topos meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere'. It was a pun - the almost identical Greek word eu-topos means 'a good place'. So at the very heart of the word is a vital  question: can a perfect world ever be realised? It is unclear as to  whether the book is a serious projection of a better way of life, or a  satire that gave More a platform from which to discuss the chaos of  European politics.
