3. Mass Migration and a True Home
Episode 3 of 5
Berger explores the psychic impact of mass migration and the sense of a true home. Read by Simon McBurney and Harriet Walter.
John Berger explores the psychic impact of mass migration and how, once lost, the sense of a true home can rarely be regained.
Simon McBurney reads Berger's most personal book: part essay, part poetry collection, part memoir and love letter.
McBurney also shares memories of John Berger and the house and landscape that inspired the book in the early 1980s.
Harriet Walter reads his poetry.
Abridged and produced by Simon Richardson.
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in April 2017.
