Tom Butler-Bowden was working as a political adviser in Australia when, at 25, he read Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Captivated by it and other books in the personal development field, he left his career and went on to write critical introductions to self-development and prosperity classics through the best-selling Capstone Classics series published by Wiley. He then went on to write bestselling 50 Self-Help Classics, the first guide to the personal development literature and a winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award.Sir Thomas More (1477 – 1535) London, England was an English lawyer, statesman, and chancellor of England (1529-32). More is often considered as a reformer and a conservative, a civic humanist and a devout Christian. More’s best known and most controversial work is Utopia – a book in which he condemns the corruption and greed of European society, and supports the ideal of an egalitarian communist state. In July 1535, More was charged with treason under the rule of Henry VIII, and was executed on Tower Hill, London.

Utopia – the influential classic Ebook
Sir Thomas More (1477 – 1535) remains one of the most enigmatic thinkers in history, due to the enduring mysteries surrounding his best-known work, Utopia. In his socio-political work, More writes of a traveller’s account of a newly discovered island in which the inhabitants share a common culture and way of life. As the traveller describes the harmony, equality, and prosperity of the island, a dramatic contrast is drawn between his imagined community and the very real poverty, crime and political corruption of 16th century Europe. In Utopia, More explores topics such as crime, punishment, education, multi-religion societies, divorce, euthanasia and women’s rights, making the book as relevant today as it was 500 years ago. Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this attractive, high-quality edition also features an introduction from writer, economist and historian, Niall Kishtainy.
