The Thirteen Travelers
Hugh Walpole
Read by David Wales
The year is 1919 and peace has sprung upon the world after the unspeakable carnage of World War I. The place is Hortons, a building of expensive flats on Duke Street just off Piccadilly, London. Social structures are disintegrating, expectations are not being met, people are confused, life is different. Each story is about a person who lives or works at Hortons, all struggling to adjust to life as it has radically changed. Twelve short stories, published in 1921, by the early twentieth century very popular English writer, Hugh Walpole. - Summary by david wales (7 hr 23 min)

INTERESTING STUDIES
AVID READER
While obviously not a factual representation of the whole European society of post WWI, these anecdotal studies do show pictures of a changing society. They would be just as timely after any major conflict or any great societal upheaval. Well read.
