The Horizon
The Horizon
    1914-1918.. . This is the
    third book in the
    Blackwood saga. For three
    generations, members of
    the Blackwood family
    served the Royal Marines
    with distinction. With
    the outbreak of World War
    I, at last comes
    Jonathan Blackwood's turn
    to carry the family name
    into battle.

    But
    as the young marines
    embark for the
    Dardanelles, and a new
    kind of warfare, it
    dawns on them that the
    days of scarlet coats and
    an unchanging tradition
    of honour and glory have
    gone forever. First in
    Gallipoli, and two years
    later at Flanders, comes
    their horrifying
    initiation into a
    wholesale slaughter for
    which no training could
    ever have prepared them.


    Caught up in the
    savagery of a conflict
    beyond any officer's
    control, Blackwood's
    future rests on the
    'horizon' - the dark lip
    of the trench which was
    the last fateful sight
    for so
    many.

The Good Soldier Svejk
The Good Soldier Svejk
    An attack on war which
    broadens into a satire on
    the ANCIEN REGIME of the
    Austro-Hungarian empire,
    THE GOOD SOLDIER SVEJK
    recreates the age-old
    figure of the simple
    soldier whose sheer
    determination to survive
    brings into question the
    mighty social and
    political institutions he
    confronts. Set in a
    Central Europe which has
    long since vanished,
    Hasek's novel is
    nevertheless a timeless
    portrait of the 'little
    man' doughtily waging his
    own war against authority

Mansfield: A Novel
Mansfield: A Novel
    Spanning three years in
    the life of the writer
    Katherine Mansfield
    during the First World
    War, this novel follows
    the ups and downs of her
    relationship with Jack
    Middleton Murry and her
    struggle to write the
    'new kind of fiction'
    which she felt the times
    demanded. She is
    restless, constantly on
    the move, in and out of
    London, to and from
    France, even, once,
    into the war zone to be
    with her French lover,
    novelist Francis Carco.
    For a short time,
    Mansfield is able to
    behave as though the war
    is merely 'background',
    but her ardent
    relationship with her
    brother, who arrives
    from New Zealand to fight
    in France, makes
    detachment impossible -
    as does her love for
    Jack's Oxford friend
    Frederick Goodyear, also
    a soldier. The war's
    shadow remorselessly
    darkens all their lives,
    but only increases
    Mansfield's determination
    to break through as a
    writer. While sticking
    scrupulously to what is
    known about Mansfield's
    life and those of her
    friends (a cast that
    includes D. H. and Frieda
    Lawrence, Bertrand
    Russell, Dora
    Carrington, Lytton
    Strachey, Aldous Huxley,
    T. S. Eliot, Lady
    Ottoline Morrel and
    Virginia Woolf), this
    novel is extraordinary in
    taking the reader beyond
    the point of biography
    into the mind, emotions
    and sensibility of its
    subject. It is a sharp,
    subtle and appealing
    portrait of the person of
    whose work Virginia Woolf
    wrote: 'It was the only
    writing I was ever
    jealous of.'
