About this listen

Here is a biography of the great French chemist and crystallographer, Louis Pasteur, who invented the pasteurization process, identified microbes as a cause of infectious disease, and developed the first vaccine against rabies.

"From the lives of men who have marked their passage with a trail of enduring light, let us piously gather, for the benefit of posterity, every detail, down to the slightest words, the slightest acts calculated to reveal the guiding principles of their great souls." (Louis Pasteur)

While I greatly appreciated the achievements of Loui, and enjoyed learning more about him, this seemed rather shallow and brushed over, and seemed to have a little of the propaganda-esq feel of a eulogy. By simply reading a Wikipedia article on him, you could possibly gain the same knowledge of his life, without the verbose almost worshipful description of him.

The performance was quite average too.. the accent was quite strange.

Plus majorly over priced.

seems more like a eulogy than a bio
