While More was a Renaissance humanist and Lord Chancellor of England, Soviet historiography reclaimed him as a visionary whose critique of private property and description of a communal society made him a distant intellectual ancestor of Marxist thought.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume features the classic translation by A. I. Malein and F. A. Petrovsky, which remains the standard for Russian readers for its balance of philological accuracy and literary grace. It is accompanied by a substantial introductory essay and extensive scholarly commentary by I. N. Osinovsky, one of the leading Soviet specialists on the Northern Renaissance and More’s biography. These materials frame the work within the socio-political context of the 16th century while highlighting its radical impact on subsequent political philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1978 edition is notable for its compact, \"pocket-sized\" reduced format, designed for student and scholarly use. Despite its size, the book is a high-quality academic production, often including reproductions of woodcuts from the original 1516 Basel edition and early portraits of More by Hans Holbein the Younger.\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors of academic series, historians of political thought, and admirers of Renaissance humanism, this Nauka edition is a quintessential reference. It represents the sophisticated effort of late-Soviet scholarship to integrate Western classical heritage into a broader historical narrative of social progress.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963165900842,"sku":"EB-306607398083","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_1d7f45a7-d975-477c-954a-4ee6545b4667.jpg?v=1768162199","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/thomas-more-utopia-in-rus-1978-%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bc%d0%b0%d1%81-%d0%bc%d0%be%d1%80-%d1%83%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bf%d0%b8%d1%8f","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
