Présentation de l'éditeur
Salute the sacred dead, Who went, and who return not. Say not so! Tis not the grapes of Canaan that repay, But the high faith that failed not by the way; Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave; No ban of endless night exiles the brave; And to the saner mind We rather seem the dead that stayed behind. Lowell, Commemoration Ode. In this great massacre of youth, in which we are all, to the best of our ability, heavily engaged, having been driven thereto by the diabolical wickedness of a remorseless foe, what slaughter of heaven-sent genius must there inevitably be! Great and simple, high and low, all pass through the valley of the shadow, and many go the way to dusty death. Of this great multitude the majority must be commonplace ordinary mortals, with potentialities undeveloped, and unlikely to be developed by the dull surroundings of ordinary routine.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a deeply personal memoir of a young man who loses his life in the First World War. He comes from the upper echelons of society, enjoying a mostly idyllic childhood surrounded by loving, well-to-do parents and siblings. The author was a close friend of the boy's father, and by extension, the family. As the author explores the boy's life through the shared experiences of his parents, their friends, and his own, the book delves into the tragic human cost of war. It is an exploration of genius lost, wasted on the horrors of a meaningless conflict, and a heartbreaking examination of the emotional toll wrought upon those left behind. However, there is also an examination of the intense love and bonds that tie people together in the face of tragedy and loss. The author presents the boy as an exemplary young man from a privileged background, but, equally, presents him as representative of countless others who died in service. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331346951_0
