Waffen Nieder!

Waffen nieder!

by Bertha von Suttner

Die Waffen nieder! (Lay Down Your Arms!) follows Gräfin Martha Althaus, a young woman from Vienna, as she navigates the tumultuous political landscape of 19th-century Europe. Through her experiences during various wars—the Sardinian War of 1859, the Prussian-Danish War of 1864, the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870—she witnesses the devastating impact of conflict firsthand. Martha's journey highlights the absurdity and brutality of war, while also exploring themes of love, loss, and the evolving role of women in society. Von Suttner's powerful narrative, written from Martha's perspective, offers a poignant critique of militarism and a passionate plea for peace.
