The Waste Land
Author(s): T.S. Eliot
Eliot's masterpiece depicts the breakdown both of an individual consciousness and of civilisation as a whole, in a variety of voices and moods from witty satire to nightmare vision, from despair to a glimpse of peace. This previously unknown and unheard recording of Eliot reading was recorded in America in 1935.
