Edith Wharton

The Marne (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1918, The Marne is a short Novella that tells of the experiences of Troy Belknap during the battles that were fought to defend the line of the Marne River. The piece is not considered one of Wharton's major works and given that it came out towards the end of the First World War, its intention, to inspire the actions of American soldiers fighting in France, was certainly mis-timed if not misplaced. Which is not to say that, as with any Wharton book, it isn't readable.
