C.S Lewis in His Own Speak
This is one of those historical fragments that make us wish sometimes that technology had been slightly more advanced in the past. This is the only fragment of the radio talks that C.S. Lewis gave during WWII to the besieged people of Britain. Lewis has a wonderful gift of clarity and his voice was one of the factors that helped to rally the people at such a difficult time. Most of the talks were not recorded at all because they were delivered live in London. But as the blitz because more severe and it because harder to ensure he could come to London to do the broadcasts, several were recorded on the early technology that was available. This is the only one that survived.
