Written while More awaited execution in the Tower of London, this dialogue is set in Hungary under threat of Turkish invasion. Old Antony comforts his nephew Vincent on how to bear fear, temptation, loss and persecution, drawing on Scripture, humour and homely stories. This edition modernises spelling and punctuation while omitting nothing.
One of the great books of Christian consolation, made easy to read without losing More’s voice. Download the free EPUB.
