Adventures in Silence
Herbert W. Collingwood
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
What is it like inside the life of a person who cannot hear, whose reality is silence? In eloquent, sensitive style, Herbert Collingwood admits us to his deaf world where there are times of beauty and terror, humor and frustration, but always joy. He deals with such realities as “Head Noises and Subjective Audition,” “The Whispering Wire,” and ''The Terror That Flieth By Night.” Collingwood has authored many books such as, “Andersonville Violets,” “Hope Farm Notes,” and numerous articles on agriculture. - Summary by Larry Wilson (7 hr 13 min)
