koohzad's review against another edition
از خواندن این نمایشنامه به این نتیجه رسیدیم که این مقامات جمهوری آمستردام بودند که اسپینورزا را در دادگاه تفتیش عقاید یهودی محاکمه کردند و مقصر اصلی تکفیر و طرد او از جماعت یهودی هلند، نه مفتشان و کاهنان یهودی بلکه حاکمان مدنی شهر بودند که پیش از آن یهودیان آواره اسپانیا و پرتغال را به شهرشان راه داده بودند! در همین حد!

The question of what or who to believe is difficult, disturbing, and thought provoking. This play concerns those questions while centering around the questioning and trial of Spinoza in Amsterdam. His enemies and friends aren’t as clear as they should be. Well performed and thoughtfully written.

Not quite sure what to rate this. I loves the audio version because it's a plan and is a great performance that was recorded, but I don't know if I would have really cared for or finished if I'd just read the play. I cannot remember why this was on my TBR and to be honest I probably would have taken it off without reading if it weren't available via m library's overdrive.
If you like philosophy/etc. and are considering reading this definitely find an audio-copy but I wouldn't go out of my way to read this. If that makes any sense at all.
