Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'The Last Days of Socrates' is akin to stepping back in time, where every word spoken by Avoth and Dobiesz carries the weight of history. The narration is impeccable; Avoth’s Socrates is authoritative yet approachable, while Dobiesz’s characters bring depth and nuance. However, some listeners might find the philosophical arguments overly dense at times. Despite this, the overall pacing keeps the narrative flowing smoothly, making it an accessible introduction to Plato for newcomers. The inclusion of an introductory piece by Christopher Rowe, read by Avoth, sets a profound tone right from the start. This audiobook is not just about hearing words; it's about experiencing one of philosophy’s most pivotal moments.
