Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Cecilia Izarraraz’s performance is nothing short of brilliant in this audiobook adaptation of Plato's 'El Banquete.' Her nuanced portrayal of Socrates and other characters makes their arguments feel both personal and philosophical. The pacing is impeccable, with a natural flow that keeps the listener hooked throughout the two-hour runtime. However, there are moments where the rapid-fire dialogue can be challenging to follow, even with Izarraraz's talent. Still, her dedication to bringing Plato’s ideas alive ensures this audiobook remains a standout in its genre.
