I was sincerely blown away by this audiobook. The 5 stars should really be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me well. I think it's so great that it ought to get 6 stars. The storyteller's voice was simply soothing. Did I already point out that it sounded really professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's the reason why I loved listening to it a lot.

A short overview of the main points from Erasmus’ life. I felt like I was reading a paper from some second year seminary student who knows that racism and misogyny are big “no no’s”, so he has to reiterate how off Erasmus was compared to our moral progress today. Talking about the 16th century and saying words like Patriarchy and People of Color truly makes me roll my eyes into the back of my skull. Oh he was a straight white European male? No fucking shit?
