The Mabinogion by Unknown

A Book Forged in Hell: Spinoza's Scandalous Treatise and the Birth of the Secular Age by Steven Nadler

informative slow-paced

4.0

I read this alongside listening to the audiobook. In the audiobook, I think that it is difficult to distinguish between when Spinoza is being directly quoted and when the narrator is reading Sadler. Consequently, I would recommend the text over the audiobook.
