The Kingdom of God Is Within You by Leo Tolstoy is a philosophical treatise first published in Germany in 1894 after being banned in his home country of Russia. The work is the culmination of 30 years of Tolstoy's thinking, and sets out rules for a new organization of society, based on an interpretation of Christianity which focuses on universal love. In a bold and original way, Tolstoy shows his audiences why violence of any type - even that sanctioned by the state or the church - must be rejected.

Slowest reader of all time. Audible, can you adjust the playback programming to reduce pauses between words? Also, the Russians are never finished until they have browbeaten you into being at least as miserable as they are. I liked the content, but he could have made his points just as well in a pamphlet or two.

. C. “Scar” Gordon was on the French Riviera recovering from a tour of combat in Southeast Asia, but he hadn’t given up his habit of scanning the personals in the newspaper. One ad in particular leapt out at him: "Are you a coward? This is not for you. We badly need a brave man. He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English with some French, proficient with all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential...."

A sub par reading of a genuinely bad story.

The difference in volume between male and female voices was extreme. Audio Compression: it's not just for pop stars. And the character with the accent was read in such a marble-mouthed fashion that I constantly had to rewind to understand what he was saying.
