Rhetoric
Aristotle
Leído por Geoffrey Edwards
The Rhetoric was developed by Aristotle during two periods when he was in Athens, the first between 367 to 347 BCE (when he was seconded to Plato in the Academy), and the second between 335 to 322 BCE (when he was running his own school, the Lyceum). The Rhetoric consists of three books. Book I offers a general overview, presenting the purposes of rhetoric and a working definition; it also offers a detailed discussion of the major contexts and types of rhetoric. Book II discusses in detail the three means of persuasion that an orator must rely on: those grounded in credibility (ethos), in the emotions and psychology of the audience (pathos), and in patterns of reasoning (logos). Book III introduces the elements of style (word choice, metaphor, and sentence structure) and arrangement (organization). Some attention is paid to delivery, but generally the reader is referred to the Poetics for more information in that area. (Summary by Wikipedia) (8 hr 34 min)

Eh

I tried to approach this with an open mind since I really enjoy this book but the reader just sounded like Kermit the frog to me. Because of his tone, pauses, and emphasis I did not enjoy this version. I'm not sure if he is using the skills from the book he is reading but at least he was trying and volunteered to read.
Mediocre

This is a book I am reading for school, and I thought it'd be nice to listen to it. It's not that good for studying, because everything is said in the same general tone of voice. However, it was very soothing to listen to. It's really nice to listen to if you cannot sleep at nights, plus probably intellectually stimulating, I don't know. Everyone has different opinions, so you'd definitely have to listen to a portion of it to make up your own minds.

NEED A NEW VERSION
The reader reads with a sing-song that shows he does not understand what he is reading. A computer text-to-voice would almost be better since its reading would be flat and you wouldn't be distracted by all the iOS and downs, trying to find the question in the sentence. Please, no offense meant, but you need another version.

Geoffrey Edwards is a prolific reader contradictory to the reviews here. He has unique way to read which some people might need time to get used to. However the readings are loud and clear. I greatly appreciate Geoffrey work. Thanks to him we are able to listen to clasic philosophical works here.
Mailed it in
Sorker
Unlistenable. The reader gives no impression that he understands, or cares to, the meaning of the words he is speaking. He lapses into a sing-song, juvenile style suitable for children's books but not here. Librivox coaches readers in style. Let's hope for a better rendition to replace this one.
Why is this guy everywhere?
A LibriVox Listener
This guy is terrible. He ruins multiple classics by Plato as well, including the Symposium, with his nasal sing-songy voice. So distracting. He ruins Aristotle's Metaphysics, Nicomicaen Ethics, and On the Soul too! Yes, you heard me right... his best and most famous works! Absolutely ridiculous. Librivox's worst reader seems to also be their most prolific. At least have another version available with a competent reader. I don't mind hearing the mic clip, pop and distort...even a little background noise doesn't bother me...that the speaker is able to speak well is all I ask.
how is this rated so highly
A LibriVox Listener
Every review points out the readers style as a problem and rated the book poorly because of it, yet it remains highly rated in listings. I appreciate that the book is available, but perhaps see if someone else would care to make another copy? I have made myself listen to several books by the same narrator because I value the content, but have decided to move on to another area of study.
reader is awful
james
The person reading this is awful and has no clue how to read out out. It’s a crime that this guy is the person reading literally 90% of Aristotle’s works here.
