Peter Maurin speaks

posted by Mike on July 10th, 2008

According to Tom Cornell, the only recording of Peter Maurin’s voice was taken from a wire recording made circa 1946-47. Several copies of this were pressed to 78rpm and sent to supporters of the Catholic Worker. He’s reading his easy essay “Makers of Europe,” or “When the Irish were Irish.” (The Catholic Worker archives lists this as c. 1939.)

    It’s inspiring to hear him. I envy the conversation sessions he held in so many ways and places.
