Thomas More鈥檚 Utopia, published 500 years ago this month, is full of radical ideas and has provided food for thought to generations of people trying to find new ways to organise society. On his fictitious island More created a vivid mosaic of places, people and their customs and they have proven to be an inspiration not just for philosophers and politicians but also for writers. To mark the anniversary we have selected a couple of intriguing passages from the book and we have also asked three young authors, Rebecca F. John, Jose Pablo Salas and Lea Sauer, to take Utopia as a starting point for a new short story.
Mr. More's Wondrous Islands is introduced by Jack Stewart, the readers are John Dougall, Bettrys Jones, Martina Laird and William Marquez. The producer is Radek Boschetty.
