Faber & Faber Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man
Book SynopsisGeorge Sherston develops from a shy and awkward child, through shiftless adolescence, to an officer just beginning to understand the horrors of trench warfare. The world he grows up in, of village cricket and loyal grooms, had vanished forever by the time Sassoon wrote this book, but he captures it with a lyricism and gentleness that defy nostalgia.A bestseller on publication in 1928, this superb evocation of the Edwardian age has remained in print ever since. It was the first volume of a classic trilogy, completed by Memoirs of an Infantry Officer and Sherston''s Progress, that charted both the destruction of the world for which Sassoon fought, and his own emergence as one of Britain''s finest war poets.

A time of cricket matches and fox-hunting, the busyness of village life and the shyness of youth.That man was Siegfried Sassoon, and this is his book. Originally published anonymously, it went on to become Faber & Faber's first bestseller. A classic depiction of pre-First World War Britain, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man tells two mirrored stories, about a boy coming of age and a countr

Faber & Faber Memoirs of an Infantry Officer
Book Synopsis''It is my own story I am trying to tell, and as such it must be received; those who expect a universalization of the Great War must look for it elsewhere.''Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, first published in 1930, is Siegfried Sassoon''s fictionalized autobiography of the period between the early spring of 1916 and the summer of 1917. The narrative moves from the trenches to the Fourth Army School, to Morlancourt and a raid, then to and through the Somme. The mind of the narrator turns from unquestioning acceptance of the war and of the standards which it set up, to doubting the necessity of the seemingly endless slaughter.
