About this audiobook
Amidst the cynicism of his era, Piers Otway seeks a love that transcends social barriers and imperialist aggression. This narrative stands apart as a rare defense of pacifism and romantic idealism in a time of jingoistic fervor. It is a passionate argument for the sanctity of personal connection over the machinery of the state.
