Synopsis

Excerpt from Pax (Peace)

The book is pervaded by a certain symbolism that evidently pleasured the author. We meet with it at once in the sketches wherein Roberto has posed as the lone, dying soldier - thus encountering a forecast of his heroic death. We come upon it often in the frequent mention of the Castilian roses, and it is to these roses that one of the most beautiful and effective chap ters of the novel is dedicated. The entire tale is a vast sym bol of a war-sick world crying Peace, Peace! Through the mute mouths of sacrificed youth. And the author does not lack a certain sense of humor that helps, now and again, to relieve the somber details of a war-swept landscape.
