Testament of Youth Vera Brittain
ISBN: 9780143108382 Год издания: 2015 Издательство: Penguin Язык: Английский In 1915 Vera Brittain abandoned her studies at Oxford to enlist as a nurse in the armed services. She served in a number of World War theaters--in London, Malta, and at the Western Front in France. By war's end, all those closest to her were dead, and she had witnessed the results of modern combat, the destruction and the suffering.

Testament of Youth Vera Brittain
ISBN: 9780349005928 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Virago Press Язык: Английский In 1914 Vera Brittain was twenty and, as war was declared, she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the life of her whole generation - had changed in a way that was unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.

A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time.

Abandoning her studies at Oxford in 1915 to enlist as a nurse in the armed services, Brittain served in London, in Malta, and on the Western Front. By war’s end she had lost virtually everyone she loved. Testament of Youth is both a record of what she lived through and an elegy for a vanished generation.
