Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a British soldier, writer and war poet.
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 *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. George Sherston develops from a shy and awkward child, through shiftless adolescence, to an officer just beginning to understand the horrors of trench warfare. The world he grows up in, of village cricket and loyal grooms, had vanished forever by the time Sassoon wrote this book, but he captures it with a lyricism and gentleness that defy nostalgia. A bestseller on publication in 1928, this superb evocation of the Edwardian age has remained in print ever since. It was the first volume of a classic trilogy, completed by Memoirs of an Infantry Officer and Sherston's Progress, that charted both the destruction of the world for which Sassoon fought, and his own emergence as one of Britain's finest war poets. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001250478

Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (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).
