I started listening to this because I’ve been doing a study of the history of Judaism . Several weeks after starting the book the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began . This has been very helpful in understanding not only Jewish history but political and regional history . I’ve also expanded my listening to other LibriVox Russian and Eastern European related readings . The material is dense and the reader’s first language is not English .I was determined to use the resource and not get discouraged .I went to another wonderful online site, Project Gutenberg , found the print version and followed along with Mr. Kim through about two thirds of the first volume . Once accustomed to his cadence and pronunciations I was able to just listen . I appreciate his taking the time to volunteer reading . I learned a lot . It is worth the effort to stay with the material through all three volumes .
