G. Wells' attempt to make sense of World War I. It begins with a lighthearted account of an American visiting England for the first time, but the outbreak of war changes everything. Day by day and month by month, Wells chronicles the unfolding events and public reaction as witnessed by the inhabitants of one house in rural Essex. Each of the characters tries in a different way to keep their bearings in a world suddenly changed beyond recognition. This book was published in 1916 while the war was still in progress, so no clear resolution was possible. Wells did not know how long the war would last or which side would ultimately win, but he hoped that somehow, something good might eventually come of it. - Summary by Peter Eastman More information: http://librivox.org/mr-britling-sees-it-through-by-h-g-wells/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Vi følger far og sønn, Kristaver og Lars, gjennom slitsomme og spennende måneder på fiske. Kristaver, som er høvedsmann på egen båt for aller første gang, er som en 'gud på havet' i øynene til sønnen. Mor går hjemme med de yngste barna, tar hånd om dyra og den lille gården og engster seg nesten syk gjennom den lange vinteren mens mannfolkene er på havet. Romanen utspiller seg i spenningen mellom rik og fattig, by og bygd, kyst og innland, tradisjon og framskritt samtidig som den er spennende, trist og medrivende. - Summary by kathrinee.
