From the Land of Silent People
par
Words at War brings wartime writing to radio, adapting books, stories, and other works that reflect the experiences and concerns of World War II. This broadcast presents From the Land of Silent People, offering a dramatic encounter with a literary work through the voices and sounds of radio.
The program’s adaptations turn written material into performance, using dialogue, narration, and sound to carry the story to listeners. Its subjects range across the human realities of war, including life under occupation, resistance, sacrifice, and the struggle to preserve freedom. Each installment gives a different work a focused radio treatment.
The result is serious, direct wartime drama: literature presented not as a lecture, but as an acted story shaped for listening. The series offers a window into the writing and ideas that spoke to audiences during the conflict, while this episode centers on the work named in its title.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
