Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Suddenly a hideous jar close at hand: the Fourth Engineer is making tea in the galley, and has dropped the poker. I look sideways at my watch. It is now five minutes to two. I decide to get up and dress.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the mundane life of an engineer aboard a decrepit British refrigerator ship in the Balkans during the first World War. The ship has been pressed into war service, and its largely foreign and transient company are now stuck at anchor in the harbor of Salonika. The daily routine of six-hour shifts is numbing to the soul, punctuated only by the petty drama of a diverse crew of sailors, firemen, cooks, and engineers from all corners of the British empire and beyond. As the narrative unfolds and the crew endures the daily tedium and occasional excitement of war, the author explores major themes: the debilitating, corrosive effects of war on all who experience it, the existential dread of unending conflict, and the small flares of humanity that emerge amidst the surrounding bleakness. The result is a unique and intimate portrayal of the many ways the war affected those on the front lines, as well as those left waiting for its end. 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 r�f. du vendeur 9781332736980_0
