Présentation de l'éditeur: Reading Sassoon's war poems is a trying experience that sears the soul. If you ever thought being a soldier would be a glorious experience, these poems will disabuse you. But you will also be entranced - I think that is the right word - by the music of the language. Sassoon does not have the incredible rhythms of Kipling or Tennyson. His Poetry is more in keeping with post-expressionism, word pictures that stay with you for a long time. It is a little like seeing Picasso or Kandinski when you are used to Rembrandt or Turner.
