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.

Im 16. Jahrhundert träumte der englische Humanist Thomas Morus von einer besseren Welt. In seinem Hauptwerk "Utopia", das 1516 auf Latein erschien, beschreibt er einen fiktiven Inselstaat mit einer Gesellschaft der Gleichen, in der es weder Geld noch Privateigentum gibt. Nicht das Individuum zählt dort, sondern das Kollektiv. So berichtet zumindest der angeblich weit gereiste Begleiter Amerigo Vespuccis, der die paradiesische Insel mit eigenen Augen gesehen haben will. Mit eindringlicher Stimme macht Ulrich Matthes dieses "Utopia" lebendig, das namensgebend für ein ganzes literarisches Genre wurde.

In Utopia, a full cast brings to life More's strange and enchanting island. More travels to Antwerp, to sort out a dispute in the commercial wool trade. While he is there, he meets an old man who is clearly widely travelled. When More complains about the petty politics of the trade dispute, the stranger says he has seen another way of living. He introduces himself as the adventurer Raphael Hythloday, and describes a thrilling journey exploring an unmapped part of the ocean, discovering an island society unlike any seen before.
