Reviews
"Excerpts: ""Events appear to have justified the assertion - German valour is astounding."" (Chapter II: On the French Front) ""The French Army is by far the most democratic institution I have ever seen."" (Chapter II: On the French Front) ""Their humiliation humiliates me, even be they Prussians of the most offensive variety."" (Chapter IV: At Grips) ""A shell might quite well fall here any moment."" (Chapter VI: The Unique City) ""The silence of the suburbs, with their maimed and rusting factories, their stagnant canals, their high, lusty weeds, their abolished railway and train stations, was a secondary matter leaving practically no impression on the exhausted sensibility."" (Chapter VI: The Unique City)"
Author Information
Enoch Arnold Bennett, better known as Arnold Bennett, was an English author and novelist who made important contributions to literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born on May 27, 1867, in Hanley, Staffordshire. His father, a lawyer, wanted him to become a lawyer like him, but Bennett was more interested in writing. After working at a law office in London for a short period of time, he decided to pursue a career in literature full time, starting in 1900. Bennett produced a large amount of work during his lifetime. He wrote 34 novels, seven volumes of short stories, 13 plays, and a daily journal of over a million words. Apart from his novels and plays, he also wrote articles and stories for more than 100 newspapers and periodicals. This made him one of the most financially successful British authors of his time. Bennett's life was cut short when he got typhoid fever and passed away in 1931. He contracted it from drinking tap water during a trip to France. His death marked the end of a productive and influential writing career. John McLean is a British born Japanese-English translator, interpreter, production editor, emcee, talk show host, and university associate professor from Hiroshima, Japan. His clients range from celebrated athletes like Simone Biles and Kohei Uchimura to prominent Japanese figures such as Nana Komatsu and Kentaro Sakaguchi, as well as dignitaries like Kazumi Matsui and major media outlets like NBC, CBC, and Al Jazeera. Beyond interpreting, his translating, subtitling and editing work with Japanese film directors and dedication to nurturing emerging filmmakers at the Berlin Film Festival through his collaboration with Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs (UNIJAPAN) highlight his contribution to the Japanese film industry.
