Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life in a German Crack Regiment Lieutenant Bilse, Beyerlein, and Baron von Schlicht,* the author of the present work, with their many less-known followers, have managed among them to create what may be regarded as a novel of a new species - the "critical" military novel. What is commonly called the "military novel," has, of course, long been known in Germany, but it differed considerably from the new species. The older military novel gave more or less lively pictures of camp, garrison and casino life, and the gay young lieutenant who generally figured as hero was much adored by ladies (as indeed he still is). But between the lieutenant of romance and the lieutenant of stern reality there is a gulf. Readers have now before them the lieutenant of reality, and the uplifting of the veil on his interesting, if not very edifying, personality and doings, has aroused in Germany a curious storm of indignation, especially in army and official circles.
