Abstract:
"War," said Thomas Paine, "involves in its progress such a train of unforseen and unsupposed circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end." History is replete with examples of wars that didn't exactly go as planners planned, but one conflict above all, the "Great War" of 1914-1918, has been responsible for our contemporary fear of the "unforseen and unsupposed circumstances" of war. The short, heroic, victorious war that most Europeans foresaw in August, 1914, became an unimaginable tragedy that buried a generation in the mud of the western front. It is, therefore, not surprising t

The paper analyzes the review of the Great War (1914-1918) in the memoir book The Life of a Man in the Balkans, by the writer Stanislav Krakov (1895-1968), which he wrote most probably between 1936 and 1968, and was published from a manuscript legacy three decades later after his death, in 1997. Krakov directly participated as a participant at the front in three wars, the First and Second Balkan Wars and the Great War, during which he was severely wounded three times and awarded several times for heroism. The subject of our special analysis is a review of events from the First World War. This

The article is devoted to a complex analysis of the short-story ‘Gift on the Position’ by R. Bakhta. The work is defined by a non-linear narrative structure characterized by the presence of several polyphonic plot lines. They branch out thanks to the narrator’s reflections on the essence of the First World War, the inclusion of correspondence between characters or retrospective episodes. Much attention is paid to the lexical component of the work, where R.

The second part then examines how Le Queux’s later writings on Russia reflected the changing nature of international politics following the outbreak of war

During the 1914-1918 hostilities, childhood favourites such as Bécassine were mobilized in defence of France, together with its overseas territories.

Abstract One answer is that children’s books reflect the world as we would like it to be; they react to the adult world. Just as, after the trauma of the Second World War, children’s books reacted by turning to fantasy, so, after the First, they looked towards various kinds of freedom. It may have been an effect of the change in attitudes to childhood; but, more concretely, there had been a sea-change, and the world after 1914 is much closer to ours than the world before.
