Reseñas editoriales
A classic of travel literature, of political writing, and of world history, Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America introduced America to the world before it was dry behind the ears. And since its publication in 1835, it has introduced countless Americans to themselves. This young Frenchman witnessed America in the throes of its moody pre-adolescence. His comments on economic inequality, American slavery, and the rise of America as a world power still thrill for their political insight and their prescience. The excerpts here, narrated with a fusty, old-school verve by George Guidall, are not only crucial historical documents, but constitute some of the gems of American political literature.

This book, unfortunately, was my first choice as a new member at Audible; if it points to the standard for their other collections I will not subscribe for long.
Miserable Audio Quality

The sound quality is poor , especially at 75 MPH , in a class 8 semi , no matter how good the sound system is.And mine is Premium.
The emphasis on certain passages of the book , to the exclusion of other , and , perhaps, more important passages , is unfortunate.
What those passages are , I haven't a clue , as this is , again , an abridged edition.
Would that there were an unabridged edition available , on audio , that I might judge for myself.
On the whole ,therefore , did I gain , from this listen , for the sum required ? Only if I had never been exposed , even remotely , to the conclusions the author expressed. I , unfortunately ,have , and therefore , while I might give this edition away , I cannot recommend it's purchase.
Perhaps others will be more fortunate.
