This World War I novel is a German author’s attempt to tell – through the persona of a young, ""unknown soldier"" – of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were betrayed and destroyed by the war.
This is remarkable little read. It is so emotional and keep you stunned. It is painfull to read but this is needed to show all the ugliness and nonsens of war. Waste of young lives. War Seen trough eyes 19year old soldier who cannot see any justifying for horror around him he is used to death, pain, hunger he doesn't know who he is and who he can be if he can be... Very moving read...
