Book excerpt: Over There War Scenes on the Western Front by Arnold Bennett From the balcony you look down upon massed and variegated tree- tops as though you were looking down upon a valley forest from a mountain height. Those trees, whose hidden trunks make alleys and squares, are rooted in the history of France. On the dusty gravel of the promenade which runs between the garden and the street a very young man and a girl, tiny figures, are playing with rackets at one of those second-rate ball games beloved by the French petite bourgeoisie. Their jackets and hats are hung on the corner of the fancy wooden case in which an orange-tree is planted. They are certainly perspiring in the heavy heat of the early morning. They are also certainly in love. This lively dalliance is the preliminary to a day's desk-work. It seems ill-chosen, silly, futile. The couple have forgotten, if they ever knew, that they are playing at a terrific and long-drawn moment of crisis in a spot sacred to the finest civilisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over There: War Scenes on the Western Front by Arnold Bennett In June, 1915, the War Propaganda Bureau arranged for Bennett to tour the Western Front. Bennett was deeply shocked by the conditions in the trenches and was physically ill for several weeks afterwards. His friend, Frank Swinnerton, later recalled, "he visited the front as a duty, and was horrified at what he saw and felt that he must not express that horror." Nonetheless, Bennett agreed to provide an account of the war that would only encourage men to join the British Army. The result was Over There: War Scenes on the Western Front (1915), finally available again in this quality paperback reissue. It is required reading not just for all history buffs, but for students of psychology, political science and advertising as well.

Book excerpt: We were met at a poste de commandement by the officers in charge, who were waiting for us.And later we found that we were always thus met. The highest officer present-General, Colonel, orCommandant-was at every place at our disposition to explain things-and to explain them withthat clarity of which the French alone have the secret and of which a superlative example exists inthe official report of the earlier phases of the war, offered to the Anglo-Saxon public throughReuter. Automobiles and chauffeurs abounded for our small party of four. Never once at anymoment of the day, whether driving furiously along somewhat deteriorated roads in the car, orwalking about the land, did I lack a Staff officer who produced in me the illusion that he was livingsolely in order to be of use to me. All details of the excursions were elaborately organised; neveronce did the organisation break down. No pre- Lusitania American correspondent could have beenmore spoiled by Germans desperately anxious for his goodwill than I was spoiled by these Frenchwho could not gain my goodwill because they had the whole of it already. After the rites of greeting, we walked up to the high terrace of a considerable chateau close by, and France lay before us in ashimmering vast semicircle. In the distance, a low range of hills, irregularly wooded; then a river;then woods and spinneys; then vineyards-boundless vineyards which climbed in varying slopes outof the valley almost to our feet. Far to the left was a town with lofty factory chimneys, smokeless.Peasant women were stooping in the vineyards; the whole of the earth seemed to be cultivatedand to be yielding bounteously. It was a magnificent summer afternoon. The sun was high and a fewhuge purple shadows moved with august deliberation across the brilliant greens. An impression ofpeace, majesty, grandeur; and of the mild, splendid richness of the soil of France

The Western Front was the central area of battle during the war. It was defined by a line of trenches created by both sides that stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France and which changed little during the war. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the First World War and especially the horrors and hardships of life for those on the front lines. Enoch Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was an English writer. Although he is perhaps best remembered for his popular novels, Bennett also produced work in other areas including the theatre, propaganda, journalism, and film. Other notable works by this author include: "Helen with a High Hand" (1910), "The Card" (1911), and "Hilda Lessways" (1911). Contents include: "The Industrious Apprentice", "The Zone of Paris", "On the French Front", "Ruins", "At Grips", "The British Lines", "The Unique City", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an introductory essay by F. J. Harvey Darton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic tale of a young soldier's harrowing experiences in the trenches, widely acclaimed as the greatest war novel of all time—featuring an Introduction by historian Norman Stone. Now a Netflix Film. When twenty-year-old Paul Bäumer and his classmates enlist in the German army during World War I, they are full of youthful enthusiam. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught to believe in shatters under the first brutal bombardment in the trenches. Through the ensuing years of horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another. Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel not only portrays in vivid detail the combatants' physical and mental trauma, but dramatizes as well the tragic detachment from civilian life felt by many upon returning home. Remarque's stated intention—“to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war"—remains as powerful and relevant as ever, a century after that conflict's end." Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I is beyond the memory of almost everyone alive today. Yet it has left as deep a scar on the imaginative landscape of our century as it has on the land where it was fought. Nowhere is that more evident than on the Western Front-the sinuous, deadly line of trenches that stretched from the coast of Belgium to the border of France and Switzerland, a narrow swath of land in which so many million lives were lost. For journalist Stephen O'Shea, the legacy of the Great War is personal (both his grandfathers fought on the front lines) and cultural. Stunned by viewing the "immense wound" still visible on the battlefield of the Somme, and feeling that "history is too important to be left to the professionals," he set out to walk the entire 450 miles through no-man's-land to discover for himself and for his generation the meaning of the war. Back to the Front is a remarkable combination of vivid history and opinionated travel writing. As his walk progresses, O'Shea recreates the shocking battles of the Western Front, many now legendary-Passchendaele, the Somme, the Argonne, Verdun-and offers an impassioned perspective on the war, the state of the land, and the cultivation of memory. His consummate skill with words and details brings alive the players, famous and faceless, on that horrific stage, and makes us aware of why the Great War, indeed history itself, still matters. An evocative fusion of past and present, Back to the Front will resonate, for all who read it, as few other books on war ever have.
