About this listen

 Utopia is the name given by Sir Thomas More to an imaginary island in this political work written in 1516. Book I of Utopia, a dialogue, presents a perceptive analysis of contemporary social, economic, and moral ills in England. Book II is a narrative describing a country run according to the ideals of the English humanists, where poverty, crime, injustice, and other ills do not exist. Locating his island in the New World, More bestowed it with everything to support a perfectly organized and happy people.

The name of this fictitious place, Utopia, coined by More, passed into general usage and has been applied to all such ideal fictions, fantasies, and blueprints for the future, including works by Rabelais, Francis Bacon, Samuel Butler, and several by H. G. Wells, including his A Modern Utopia.

Very interesting, the idea that someone could have come up with such a good society (it wasn't all right of course) so many years ago is impressive. I found it very interesting.

However it doesn't read like a novel and will lack the excitement a lot of people would want.

A great listen.

It sounds like the voice of a mature man reading in the style of a young child, reading out one word at a time. I can't give a fair overall review as I gave up very quickly.
