Présentation de l'éditeur
Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Latvian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Utopia by Thomas More was edited for three audiences. The first includes Latvian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Latvian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Latvian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Latvian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Latvian or English.

Biographie de l'auteur
Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated by Catholics as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin Luther and William Tyndale. He also wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary ideal island nation. More opposed the King's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and beheaded. Ahead of his execution, he was reported saying his famous words: "I die the King's good servant, but God's first."
