Kitty Reads Lit for Peace: William Thackeray – The History of Henry Esmond plus The Next Peacelands
This episode offers a brief excerpt from William Makepeace Thackeray’s The History of Henry Esmond, a reflective, gently paced novel told through a narrator looking back on his life. In this short selection, Kitty brings forward Thackeray’s quiet observational humor and the steady tone that shaped so much of his work.
Kitty O’Compost warms up her reporter voice for CTRL–AI–DISARM, the upcoming Peace Is Here series exploring truth, power, and the systems shaping our shared future.
The episode closes with The Next Peacelands, where Avis Kalfsbeek reads a real-time list of global warzones and major arms suppliers—an honest grounding in the world as it is, and an invitation to practice peace with intention.
