Description
Edizione: a handsome folio society production. sassoon first published the novel in 1927 and it was immediately recognized as a classic. it won both the hawthornden prize and the james tait black memorial prize. prior to its publication, sassoon's reputation rested entirely on his poetry, mostly written about the first world war. it is a story of his own youth, but presented in the form of an autobiographical novel. he gave false names to the central characters, including himself, who is in the novel as "george sherston". sassoon was motivated to write the book by incident which occurred during the war. a fox was loose in the trenches, and one of his friends shot and killed it. this incident ties back to his pre-war life, when riding and hunting were among his favourite pastimes.<br> sassoon would eventually produce two sequels, rounding out the rest of his youth. these were; memoirs of an infantry officer and sherston's progress.
