Written by Sir Thomas More and translated into English by Raphe Robynson, this classic work introduces us to the traveler Raphael Hythloday in Antwerp. The first book sets the stage, while the second immerses us in the fascinating island of Utopia, where customs, laws, religion, and economy intertwine.

Yet, More himself remains skeptical of some of Hythlodays assertions. This recording is based on the 1556 Robinson translation and features a foreword by the renowned William Morris.
