Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisIn this autobiography, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the monumental and universal loss of innocence that occurred as a result of the First World War. Written after the war and as he was leaving his birthplace, he thought, forever, Good-Bye to All That bids farewell not only to England and his English family and friends, but also to a way of life. Tracing his upbringing from his solidly middle-class Victorian childhood through his entry into the war at age twenty-one as a patriotic captain in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, this dramatic, poignant, often wry autobiography goes on to depict the horrors and disillusionment of the Great War, from life in the trenches and the loss of dear friends, to the stupidity of government bureaucracy and the absurdity of English class stratification. Paul Fussell has hailed it as ""the best memoir of the First World War"" and has written the introduction to this new edition that marks the eightieth anniversary of the end of the war. An enormous success when it was first issued, it continues to find new readers in the thousands each year and has earned its designation as a true classic.

Outstanding!
This book, by Robert Graves, the author of "I, Claudius", is his own story of his happy childhood, his service during World War I, and his lost innocence as a result of that war. Well written, at times moving. I thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish, there being (for me, anyway) no parts or passages that disengaged me.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Interesting book if you like WWI history
I am fond of the WWI poets so am enjoying this book. I didn't know a lot about Graves, but have read Pat Barker's Trilogy and enjoyed it so I understand a lot of this.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
