War and Peace: A Collection of Classic Poetry and Prose

Description

「我的主題是戰爭，以及戰爭的悲憫，」第一次世界大戰詩人威爾弗雷德・歐文曾寫道，然而對魯珀特・布魯克而言，戰爭是驕傲之事，而非悲憫之題。有時，戰爭甚至可能成為幽默的載體。不論是戰鬥頌歌或哀歌、靜默的沉思或進行曲，這部經典詩文選集中都能找到戰爭與和平的方方面面。

‘My subject is War, and the pity of War’, wrote First World War poet Wilfred Owen, yet for Rupert Brooke war was a matter of pride, not pity. Sometimes war might even be a vehicle for humour. Whether it’s battle hymn or lament, silent reverie or marching song, all aspects of war and peace are to be found in this anthology of classic poetry and prose.
