Any additional comments?

I have been looking for a good Audio book of this classic text, but this is not it. the translation is good, the reading is excellent, but it is a vary abridged version (in contrary to its declaration of being "Unabridged"). out of the hole book, this version contains about a fifth.

What made the experience of listening to Death in Florence the most enjoyable?

Taking the specific subject of Florence between The Medici & Savonarola, Strathern writes a compelling tale of politics, religion and thought in the high renaissance.
