One of the most comprehensive eutopias ever written. The eutopia focuses on family, home, and place. Islandians are country dwellers who live on one farm for generations and only temporarily move to cities. No rich or poor even though there are aristocrats and denerir, who work on the land but have absolute right in both law and custom, which is more important than law in Islandia, to their land and homes. Considerable detail on the different expressions of love, with sexual love the least important. See also 1969, 1979, and 1982 Saxton.
