Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education by Violence: Essays on the War and the Future In the fat, green days before 1914, a book was made in a manner that had become almost conventional. You lived, you studied, you thought, and then retired, like an expectant mother, to some mental solitude, where the travail in due and decorous order was ended, and the book came forth complete. But in this book, conceived in war time and finished in the early days of peace, I have been subject to a different ordering. Life burned intensely in 1918. The battle-front, the tumultuous humanity behind the lines, Great Britain and France at war, where I was a humble observer, flung imperious summons. Ideas, hopefully interpretative of the surging forces loose everywhere, shot into the mind, sometimes in a trench, sometimes in a munitions factory, on a steamer deck, or at midnight in Piccadilly, and would wait only for the quiet of an Oxford garden, or the peace of a room high hung in Kensington above a park cheery with thrushes, to be worked out as far as the uncertainties of the time would permit.
