Synopsis

Siegfried Sassoon was an English poet and author. He became known as a writer of satirical anti-war verse during World War I. His first success was The Daffodil Murderer, a parody of The Everlasting Mercy by John Masefield, published in 1913. Sassoon joined the military in 1914, but a badly broken arm kept him in England. At about this time his brother Hamo was killed in action. His strong poetry conveys the ugly truth of the soldiers in the trenches. He believed in the philosophy of "No truth unfitting" as seen in his images of rotting corpses, mangled limbs, filth, cowardice and suicide.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
