Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(3,5 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

This is satirical look at the English educational system and society in the early twentieth century and the effect of World War I on them by following the lives of Peter Stublands and the orphaned Joan. It is a sad indictment, and Wells includes "An Apology of a Schoolmaster" to explain the constraints of the system. (20 hr 32 min)
