'Road' Summary
'The Road' is a collection of poems by Siegfried Sassoon, a British soldier who fought in World War I. The poems are written in a variety of styles, from traditional sonnets to free verse, and they explore the horrors and disillusionment of war. Sassoon's poems are known for their honesty, their vivid imagery, and their emotional intensity. They reflect the profound impact of the war on his own life and the lives of his fellow soldiers, capturing the physical and psychological scars left by the conflict. The poems are a powerful indictment of the brutality of war, but they also offer glimpses of beauty, hope, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.Book Details
