Story4.5 out of 5 stars 566
Renowned and beloved as a prizewinning novelist, Dara Horn has also been publishing penetrating essays since she was a teenager. Often asked by major publications to write on subjects related to Jewish culture - and increasingly in response to a recent wave of deadly anti-Semitic attacks - Horn was troubled to realize what all of these assignments had in common: She was being asked to write about dead Jews, never about living ones.

As one of the few black students in his philosophy program at Columbia University years ago, Coleman Hughes wondered why his peers seemed more pessimistic about the state of American race relations than his own grandparents–who lived through segregation. The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer.

This book should be required reading in schools. It’s a very fair and moderate look at a problem that most people are afraid to talk about.

This is a story from the Canterbury Tales I: Modern Verse Translation collection. Chaucer"s greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society and values. The stories range from the romantic, courtly idealism of "The Knight"s Tale" to the joyous bawdy of the Miller"s; all are told with a freshness and vigor in this modern verse translation that make them a delight to hear.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It"s inexpensive and good. I think that it"s helpful to listen to a modern English translation before diving into the Middle English version.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Canterbury Tales: The Franklin"s Tale (Modern Verse Translation)?
It brings the Middle Ages to life.
What about Anton Lesser’s performance did you like?
Great reading. Audiobooks should be read by professional actors, like this.
