Even if it is only a selection and only in English, it is a work of a bit less than 900 pages, permitting a rapid, although serious, approach to the Talmud.
In addition to the Talmud and to its dialectical and/or dialogical evaluation of different “legal” cases, one may appreciate the editor’s introduction and his commentaries and notes.
So, one has less and, at the same time, more than a simple “rough” original Talmud.
