Está novela ejemplificó por primera vez en la época los dramáticos efectos psicológicos de un conflicto bélico tanto en los soldados como en sus familias, a la vez que trazaba un tenso y apasionante retrato del sacrificio, el arrepentimiento y la brutalidad de la guerra. ( )
Though its style is occasionally a trifle strained, a trifle "Precious," the novel is on the whole, well written, and its plot well handled. Contenido enListas de sobresalientes

HTML: When Captain Chris Baldry, a World War I soldier, is sent home with a severe case of shellshock amnesia, he is a stranger to his wife, Kitty, and his adoring cousin, Jenny. Recoiling from the horrors of war and disillusioned with years of superficial married life, his mind has regressed fifteen years, where his heart may take refuge once again in the magic circle of his youth and of his first love, Margaret Allington. In this lyrical and poignant story of a wounded man and the three concerned women who seek to heal him, Rebecca West explores the complexity of the mind and its subtle strategies for coping with life's painful realities. Only when Chris has the courage to face one pivotal moment of truth in his married life will he be able to awaken from his boyish fantasy and become, indeed, "every inch a soldier." .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
