About the Author:
Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a British soldier, writer and war poet.
Review:
One of the most exquisite literary products of the early 20th century...James Wilby reigns in his narrative to start with, adopts a hectic pace for gallops over gorse and heathland, then slows again for the elegiac wartime coda. * The Times * The war we're told changed everything. Learning, as we begin to do here, how it changed the infinitely complex Sassoon is fascinating. * Sue Arnold, The Guardian *

Book Description Condition: new. (Paperback, 1999). (1928) 1999 paperback reprint. 12mo paperback (110 x 177mm). Pp313. B/w vignette illustrations by William Nicholson. Fine new copy. This is a pocket paperback edition of Sassoon's famous semi-autobiographical novel which quickly ran to many impressions. The main character's time in France in the First World War occupies the last two chapters. The rest of the book is a fascinating account of a childhood and youth of mildly faded gentility in a countryside lacking motorcars and mains electricity. "Not only a prose masterpiece, but also a picture of the England which was shattered by the War." (Edmund Blunden). "It is one of the most subtle and moving narratives of youth's education in life, of the gradual breakdown of an egocentric universe that is happy, innocent and hopeless." (Angus Wilson).
