(3,536 Sterne; 14 Bewertungen)

Beccaria's treatise On Crimes and Punishments, which condemns disproportionate and irrational penalties in general as well as torture and the death penalty, is said to mark the peak of Enlightenment in Milan. Its translations were widely read by statesmen and policy makers in Britain, America and France. This translation also features the anonymous commentary, attributed to Voltaire. - Summary by Carolin (6 hr 55 min)

It's okay

(3 Sterne)

The author is difficult to hear at first but you get used to her. My recommendation is to increase the book speed. I could listen at 1.5 speed. Since this is the only available version, I think it's better than nothing.

What an annoying voice.

(1 Sterne)

The reader prolongs certain words unnecessarily. What an unnatural speach and dreadful way to treat one's ears., isn't there someone who scans the uploads against torture?

(5 Sterne)

The reader's cadence permits me to schedule thought. She is perfectly consistent and this is rewarding after initial adjustment.

yeesh

(2 Sterne)

the person reading this is hard to listen to.
