À propos de cet audio

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish philosopher, social commentator, satirical writer, essayist, mathematician, and historian. Latter-Day Pamphlets is a series of essays published in 1850, in which he harshly denounces the political, social, and religious injustices and stupidities of the period. The target of many of the essays is the effect of greed on the culture. Carlyle also attacked the British parliament, democracy and the prison system. “The Present Time”, “Stump-Orator”, “Hudson’s Statue”, and “Parliaments” are among the most memorable of the essays.

Skips and fastforwards at various parts.

Reviews are required to have 15 words for some reason but that I have nothing more to say.

Poorly edited.

A historically significant collection of writings by one of the most well-known 19th century reactionaries. For me what what was most surprising is the relevance today of much of his rhetoric.
However, the choice of voice actor is baffling. Why have a monotonic American read a mid-19th century Scotsmen? It is not only the accent and the tone that spoiled this but also the mispronouncuation of common English words. This was a huge challenge to listen to and made the book almost impossible to finish.
I'll re record this for you in actual English for a fee.....

Historically significant but ruined by voice actor
