Thomas More alcanzó la inmortalidad por su rígida postura religiosa contraria a la del rey Enrique VIII. Esto también le costaría la vida. Ejemplo de conducta y convicción, Moro debe su prestigio a una obra fundamental: Utopía (1516), un relato satírico sobre la vida en una isla de ficción llamada así. En esta isla, los intereses de los individuos se encuentran subordinados a los de la sociedad como conjunto, todos sus habitantes deben desempeñar un trabajo, se practica la enseñanza universal y la tolerancia religiosa, y la tierra pertenece a todos.

L'"Utopia" di Thomas More rappresenta a pieno titolo il prototipo moderno della letteratura utopistica e visionaria. Suddiviso in due parti, l'audiolibro è incentrato sul dialogo di More con Raffaele Itlodeo ("il chiacchierone"). Questi, gran viaggiatore, esordisce con la descrizione a tinte vive dell'Inghilterra dell'epoca. Il fenomeno delle recinzioni, dell'espropriazione delle terre comuni a opera della nobiltà terriera, aveva condotto sul lastrico vaste componenti della società inglese, soprattutto i contadini.

Thomas More's Utopia stands out as one of the most striking political works ever written. Composed specifically as a response to Henry VIII's break with Rome, the book meditates on the perfect society while indirectly critiquing the political and social ills of Tudor England. Containing thoughts on religious pluralism, a welfare state, and women's rights, More's book was well ahead of its time, already hinting at later theories on communism and capitalism centuries before Marx, Engels, and Smith.
