Summary
Robert Graves: In the Trenches
A hundred years ago, after the end of the First World War, literature faced a great challenge. The historical interpretation of the events from 1914 to 1918 was neither agreed upon nor defined, as, after all, it is not completely even today. Writers had yet to find access to events that many of them personally witnessed while participating in war operations. They wondered if they would be able to intrigue the proverbially disinterested reader to endure at least part of the horrors they experienced on the battlefield. They wanted to convey to him the atmosphere of meaninglessness which necessarily had to cause millions of deaths. Just as the war produced young lieutenants and colonels, it also stimulated the rapid maturation of very young writers, who, like Robert Graves, ended up in the trenches of the Western or Eastern Front, whether by their own will or not, such as the Americans John Dos Passos, E.E. Cummings or Ernest Hemingway, the German Erich Maria Remarque, the Czech Jaroslav Hašek or the Croatian Miroslav Krleža.
The booklet before you is a selection of texts from Graves' autobiography Farewell to Everything which describe the almost three years he spent in the trenches of northeastern France, the area where by far the most soldiers died in the First World War.
