What it is
Written in the Tower awaiting execution, framed as Hungarians discussing the Turkish threat, and really about how to face the loss of everything including one's nerve.
Why it lasted
More's finest book, composed with the axe in view, and unexpectedly funny about fear.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
