Going After Cacciato
A CLASSIC FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE THINGS THEY CARRIED "To call Going After Cacciato a novel about war is like calling Moby-Dick a novel about whales." So wrote The New York Times of Tim O'Brien's now classic novel of Vietnam. Winner of the 1979 National Book Award, Going After Cacciato captures the peculiar mixture of horror and hallucination that marked this strangest of wars. In a blend of reality and fantasy, this novel tells the story of a young soldier who one day lays down his rifle and sets off on a quixotic journey from the jungles of Indochina to the streets of Paris. In its memorable evocation of men both fleeing from and meeting the demands of battle, Going After Cacciato stands as much more than just a great war novel. Ultimately it's about the forces of fear and heroism that do battle in the hearts of us all. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
All Quiet on the Western Front
“All Quiet on the Western Front,” by Erich Maria Remarque, is a poignant narrative that captures the profound effects of World War I on a generation stripped of its innocence and vitality. Through the eyes of the young German soldier Paul Bäumer, Remarque unfolds the harrowing realities of war on the front lines—where the only certainties are death, despair, and the relentless erosion of one’s humanity. As Paul and his comrades navigate the brutal chaos of trench warfare, they are bound by a brotherhood forged under fire, clinging to fleeting moments of joy and solace amidst the omnipresent specter of mortality. This seminal work is not merely a novel about war; it is a powerful indictment of the senseless brutality of conflict and the incalculable cost of violence. Remarque’s unflinching portrayal of the soldiers’ experiences serves as a universal reminder of the tragedies that unfold when nations choose war as a means to settle disputes. “All Quiet on the Western Front” remains as relevant today as it was upon its publication, continuing to offer profound insights into the personal and collective consequences of warfare, and a poignant commentary on the loss of youth and innocence in the crucible of battle.
