The Life Of Thomas More托马斯·莫里斯爵士的一生 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Peter Ackroyd's The Life of Thomas More is a masterful

reconstruction of the life and imagination of one of the most

remarkable figures of history. Thomas More (1478-1535) was a

renowned statesman; the author of a political fantasy that gave a

name to a literary genre and a worldview (Utopia); and, most

famously, a Catholic martyr and saint.

Born into the professional classes, Thomas More applied his

formidable intellect and well-placed connections to become the most

powerful man in England, second only to the king. As much a work of

history as a biography, The Life of Thomas More gives an unmatched

portrait of the everyday, religious, and intellectual life of the

early sixteenth century. In Ackroyd's hands, this renowned "man for

all seasons" emerges in the fullness of his complex humanity; we

see the unexpected side of his character--such as his preference

for bawdy humor--as well as his indisputable moral courage.
