The Great War and Modern Memory - Paul Fussell
KORTE INHOUD
Paul Fussell's award-winning landmark study of World War I, originally published in 1975, remains as original and gripping today as ever - but now his literary and illuminating account comes in a beautifully illustrated edition. World War I changed a generation, ushered in the modern era and revolutionised how we see the world. By drawing from a variety of primary sources, including personal correspondence, newspapers and literary works, Fussell brings the period alive. Not only does he give a more profound understanding of what the Great War meant to the people who lived through it, he also analyses the modern perception of its impact. The wide selection of rare and fascinating images includes photographs, illustrations, and maps from period books, magazines, newspapers, advertisements and other publications. Not only do they heighten the impact of Fussell's remarkable critical interpretation, they help readers fully grasp the true scope of this catastrophic war.
