734. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells [Part 1] Learn English with Stories

[Part 1 of 3] Luke reads extracts from The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. This is a classic bit of science fiction writing from the Victorian era, with some thrilling passages and scary descriptions. It’s one of my favourite books of all time and I hope you enjoy it too and learn some English from it.

I found your channel here and then I went to Spotify and actually I'm at the episode 130 and I'll listen all of them. It's the most enjoyable podcast I've ever heard. Thanks for your job, Luke.
