Utopía
Since the most remote times, human beings have felt the need to create an ideal world for themselves, endowed with a just government and in which life would flow placidly without wars, with individual perfection in work, in the arts, sciences and in everything that contributed to progress. This golden age, whose memory was in the Roman heritage or the Christian "Paradise Lost", was embodied by Thomas More (1478-1535) in his work "Utopia" (from the Greek, no place), a name that has remained to designate something nonexistent or impossible to achieve. The most famous before it had been Plato's "The Republic". As for subsequent ones, they reach our days, transforming into anti-utopias that reflect the negative state to which human beings have arrived with their essays in pursuit of "Brave New World" or the terrifying "1984", with the omnipotent Big Brother.
