LibriVox recording of Utopia, by Thomas More. Read by Jenilee.
This book is all about the fictional country called Utopia.
It is a country with an ‘ideal’ form of communism, in which
everything really does belong to everybody, everyone does
the work they want to, and everyone is alright with that.
This country uses gold for chamber pots and prison chains,
pearls and diamonds for children’s playthings, and requires
that a man and a woman see each other exactly as they are,
naked, before getting married. This book gave the word
'utopia' the meaning of a perfect society, while the Greek
word actually means ‘no place’. Enjoy listening to this
story about a country that really is too good to be true.
