À propos de cet audio
An intimate narrative history of World War I told through the stories of 20 men and women from around the globe - a powerful, illuminating, heart-rending picture of what the war was really like.
In this masterful book, renowned historian Peter Englund describes this epoch-defining event by weaving together accounts of the average man or woman who experienced it. Drawing on the diaries, journals, and letters of 20 individuals from Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Venezuela, and the United States, Englund's collection of these varied perspectives describes not a course of events but "a world of feeling". Composed in short chapters that move between the home front and the front lines, The Beauty and Sorrow brings to life these 20 particular people and lets them speak for all who were shaped in some way by the war, but whose voices have remained unheard.
