Great philosopher made ridiculous by accents

Revisado: 10-04-17

MacIntyre is a terrific philosopher of virtue ethics, and this work gives an historical account of how his approach is embedded in our history. That’s fantastic and gives a new window on him for me. Dalgliesh is a good reader, but publishers!, please stop giving us stupid accents as if this were an adaptation of the book as a dramatic performance. The history of philosophy (and indeed, any book) is not improved by hamming it up.

Accents ruin it

Revisado: 10-04-17

This is an interesting tale centered around the fairy story of a cursed jewel, like Steinbeck’s The Pearl. Other than that, it doesn’t have a larger vision or aim. The storytelling is good. The worst part though is the horrific and ridiculous accents. Please publishers stop doing accents—that’s not a book on tape—it’s a dramatic adaptation of a book. I want a book on tape to have the experience of reading, not to attend a dramatic performance interpreting a work I haven’t read.
