Unhappy Far-Off Things
by Lord Dunsany
'Unhappy Far-Off Things' Summary
In 'Unhappy Far-Off Things,' Lord Dunsany compiles a series of introspective and moving essays based on his experiences serving on the front lines of France during World War I. These essays, written in 1916, depart from his previous war-related works by adopting a contemplative and melancholic tone. Dunsany reflects on the grim realities of war, the suffering and resilience of soldiers, and the profound impact of conflict on humanity. Through evocative language and incisive insights, he explores the complexities of the human psyche and spirit amidst the chaos and devastation of war.Book Details
