Experience the raw power of Wilfred Owen's haunting masterpiece "Dulce et Decorum Est" in this compelling audiobook. Owen's searing firsthand account of gas warfare during World War I strips away romantic notions of combat with unflinching clarity and devastating imagery. Listen as Owen's visceral language brings to life the horror of the trenches, challenging the "old lie" that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. Masterfully narrated to capture the poem's urgent rhythm and emotional intensity, this audiobook transforms Owen's anti-war testimony into an immersive audio experience. Perfect for students of literature, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the human cost of war. Written by a soldier who would die just one week before the Armistice, these verses remain one of the most powerful indictments of warfare ever penned.
