摘要：

Between dreams and reality, the land of Cockaigne was a magical country repeatedly imagined and sought for the Early Modern Age. In this fantastic land was not necessary to work and food was plentiful. The myth arose in an oppressed society, which was a relief in these fantasies, though many tried to make it happen, searching in other lands beyond the sea. America became the projection of those dreams.
