Robert von Ranke Graves (°Wimbledon, 18950724 +1985)
There was no patriotism in the trenches. It was too remote a sentiment, and rejected as fit only for civilians. A new arrival who talked patriotism would soon be told to cut it out. (continued on page 239)
This is the original version of Robert Graves's intense memoir of the First World War, restoring this raw, emotionally truthful, darkly comic work to the way it was first written, by a young man still reeling from the trenches. Edited by Fran Brearton with a new Introduction by Andrew Motion 'We see the dark heart of the book even more clearly, and hear it beating even more loudly, in this original edition than we do in the comparatively careful and considered terms of the later one.' Andrew Motion 'One of the most candid self-portraits, warts and all, ever painted.' TLS
For France see 'Le Feu' by Henri Barbusse and the writings of Céline 'Voyage au bout de la nuit'.
In Germany the books by Erich Remarque describe WW I in the trenches: 'Im Westen nichts Neues'. See also 'In Stahlgewittern' (1920) by Ernst Jünger.
