Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of humanity, and the nature of love, truth and beauty in relation to life and mortality. Set against the backdrop of the First World War, the book's characters fumble through life seeking these qualities, and the authenticity of their own emotions. Delving deeply into the notions of beauty, and how we are moved by it, the author offers the reader a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition. The book is therefore as much a philosophical study of humanity and art as it is a story, and will appeal to readers who enjoy literature that explores the human condition and all of its messy, imperfect, and often beautiful complications. 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.
