I liked very much the narrator, she has a clear, pleasant and expressive voice.
The story isn't one of the most interesting, the way the author tries to inspire people to be more virtuous through it seems to me a bit forced and uninspiring. I appreciate her intentions but she didn't know how to create a story that is able to make people FEEL the benefits of virtuosity.

But anyway, i advanced in my capacity to understand french through listening to it and that was my main goal , so this is the reason i give it 4 stars and not less.

Although this course has several minuses like the repetition of same ideas in the first part when prof presents Machiavelli's thought through his most known work "The Prince" and prof's childish manner of speaking, if one has patience to listen to the course till the end it is worth it.

This is one of the few great courses that made me to want to know more about Machiavelli and/or other modern political thinkers.

The prof manages to present the essence of Machiavelli's thought in a very easy to understand way and it makes you to want to read his works, especially his Discourses on Livy which can make us understand his way of seeing things in a more holistic and profound way than "The Prince".

Before listening to this course i also had a preconceived idea that Machiavelli is that guy without any moral principles that had a bad influence on rennaisance florentine aristocracy and on european political thought in general.

After listening to this i completely changed the way i see Machiavelli and even if i sometimes do not agree with him completly i understand the reasons he sometimes gave so shocking and drastic solutions to some problems of his time - he always had well argumented reasons.

I also understood that in contrast to what i previously tought about him, he actually had some very rational and down to earth basic principles that lie at the base of his way of his thinking and i completly agree with him on all of them...

... I believe that those principles can be applied to our own days as well, without copying the solutions he gives to the problems of his day(as Machiavelli himself says) , but finding new creative ones adapted to the nature of our own present problems.

Therefore i believe this is a very valuable educational course on political science and i would make a REQUEST to THE GREAT COURSES to produce other more detailed courses like this on other political thinkers of the modern european period - it would be very useful and educative for us all.

Courses like "The Great Ideas of Philosophy", "Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition", "Birth of the modern mind" and all other Alan Kors and Cahoone's courses are not enough.

30 minutes spent on great thinkers like Jean Jacques Rousseau it is too little.

Each of the great modern thinkers deserve 24 lectures like Machiavelli in this course.
