to quote the blurb that came with the text "Transcribed from the 1913 Methuen & Co. edition Note that later editions of De Profundis contained more material. The most complete editions are still in copyright in the U.S.A." So that's all we can legally do. Anne

I love this text so much. it examines nature, society, religion and fate with such beauty. I also adored this person's voice, they realy captivated the core of this book

This is a deep look at suffering. I loved the third chapter. Really good stuff. I'll probably listen again or read it at some point. It's one to think on.

A beautiful, soulful text, beautifully read. Thank you to both Oscar and Adam, from a lonely student in Paris.

Part 4 is missing 15 pages worth of De Profundis. Well read, but not complete.
