The work begins with written correspondence between Thomas More and several people he had met on the continent: Peter Giles, town clerk of Antwerp, and Jerome Busleiden, counselor to Charles V. More chose these letters, which are communications between actual people, to further the plausibility of his fictional land. In the same spirit, these letters also include a specimen of the Utopian alphabet and its poetry. The letters also explain the lack of widespread travel to Utopia; during the first mention of the land, someone had coughed during announcement of the exact longitude and latitude. The first book tells of the traveler Raphael Hythloday, to whom More is introduced in Antwerp, and it also explores the subject of how best to counsel a prince, a popular topic at the time.

    I have been reading about the Tudor period recently. I always like to dip into some "background" and I kept meeting references to "Utopia", so decided to read it. I am glad I could put it into a context, otherwise it might have seemed a bit of a nonsense. Considering when it was written and the attitudes of the time, it has a surprisingly modern tone to it. It could be a good stimulus for discussions wiith undergraduates. I am glad I read it. Certainly more entertaining than Karl Marx.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Big ideas but not that engaging
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2016

    A book often referenced but seldom read? Perhaps, so I thought I'd give it a go, it's a slightly odd reading experience which is perhaps not surprising given it was written 500 years ago.

    It's literally a book of two parts.

    Part 1 has little to do with Utopia being a discussion on the merits or otherwise or hanging thieves. Told in part 2nd hand. It's at least discursive and argumentative.

    Part 2 is a description of the governance of the Island of Utopia by someone who has visited. It's a pretty detailed if dry rather description of a system of government that might be described as an austere communist society. Perhaps it's Mores vision of some sort of perfect society, but that's unclear, there is no discussion of it's merits or otherwise.

    An important book, but overall I think you would be as well reading the Wikipedia summary as the actual book.

    Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2025

    This book is a philosophical venture into a utopia and a descriptive narrative. I appreciate the authors writing style. It show different perspectives. Quote after quote of relelentless analysis. Moore writes that a utopia is a society filled with health, wealth, comraderie, strength and basic intellect. He also mentions religion as a spiritual elements necessary. Morals guide the masses and government is crucial. Very short so a quick read.
