The Complete Memoirs Of George Sherston
Condition remarks:
Condition: Fair to Good. No dust jacket. Pages yellowed with age, consistent with a mid-20th century reprint edition. Binding appears intact. Some tanning visible on page edges. Minor wear to boards.
A landmark work of autobiographical fiction, The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston presents the life of a young English country gentleman transformed by the cataclysm of the First World War. The trilogy — comprising Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, and Sherston's Progress — chronicles Sherston's journey from an idyllic Edwardian childhood through the mud and carnage of the Western Front. Sassoon writes with a rare combination of lyrical beauty and unflinching honesty, capturing both the pastoral innocence of pre-war England and the profound moral disillusionment wrought by modern warfare. Though thinly veiled as fiction, the narrative draws directly from Sassoon's own extraordinary experiences, including his famous public protest against the continuation of the war, making it one of the most compelling and authentic accounts of the Great War ever written.
