“Adam Verner superbly narrates Allan Bloom’s translation of Plato’s classic discussion of what makes for a just society and the best form of government…His delivery is perfect — pacing, intonation, and enunciation are all spot-on. His resonant deep voice is winsome and, overall, makes this a splendid listening experience.”
