Synopsis:
Excerpt from The Song of Tiadatha
Fashion which is a most happy blend of descriptive realism, humour and sentiment. Longfellow's metre has often been Copied before, but I think never so well as this and certainly never with such happy results. Floating as gently along as Hia watha in his canoe, we follow Tiadatha's adven tures from the day when he ceases to be a nut in St. James's Street, joins up, and goes to France we come with him to Macedonia, and accompany him as he does the hectic round of Salonica's dubious amusements; watch him building his dug-out up on the Boiran Front share his feverish activities during the nightmare experience of the Great Fire attack the frowning Bulgar mountains in his company; and finally, with much good work well done, go back to England with him on leave and look enviously on as he takes to his arms again his green-eyed Phyllis. There is something in the song OF tiadatha that all of us have experienced. That is one reason why it appeals so strongly to the F. But another reason is that the song or tiadatha is something absolutely our own. Nobody can appreciate it to the full who has not belonged to the great family of the b.s.f. And as you men of that Army have had trials which have been peculiarly your own, so it is right that you.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a glimpse into the experiences of an individual soldier in the trenches during World War I. It starts with the character's recruitment and takes the reader through the monotony of training, the camaraderie shared with fellow soldiers, and the horrors of army life in the unforgiving conditions of war. The war is depicted in a manner that contrasts the author's youthful enthusiasm and spirit of adventure with the stark reality and mundanity of life in the trenches. The author's account captures the boredom, fear, and struggle for comfort and normalcy of those involved in the conflict. His vivid portrayal of the war experience offers insights into the depth of human endurance and the spectrum of emotions faced amidst the brutality of war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333619817_0
