Sobre este artículo
London & Sydney: Collins, 1975. First edition, 1975. Hardback. 222pp. Grey cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dust jacket. Compiegne, Novenber 1918. The railway carriage waits for old Marshal Foch, Maxime Weygand, Admiral Wemyss and Matthias Erzberger. They meet to draw the war to an end and they talk. They do not understand and the seeds of the next war are sown. Keneally's gift for thinking himself into an alien situation and recreating it with astonishing vividness is remarkably displayed in this tour de force. This is fiction, but it is also history seen under the floodlight of an artist's imagination. Very good condition. A little bumping to upper corners and some light soiling to upper edge of text block. Dust jacket very good. Unclipped. Generally lightly soiled. Small closed tear to upper edge of front. Light edge wear. Jacket in a protective sleeve.
Sinopsis
A tale of personal prejudice and political obstinacy from the author of Schindler's List. In 1918 at Compiègne, France, a group of intractable men negotiate to forge the armistice ending World War I. The Allies press for total submission; the Germans angle for compromise. So they talk on and on, while the guns roar and men die.
