Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Horses in the Sky' is a poignant and evocative novel that captures the tumultuous experiences of American youth during the First World War. Drawing upon themes of duty, sacrifice, and the search for meaning, the narrative follows a group of young men as they transition from the idealism of their home lives to the brutal realities of the European front. The story delves deeply into the psychological and emotional toll of the conflict, painting a vivid picture of the individuals who formed the 'Lost Generation' as they navigate the chaos of the trenches and the fleeting moments of connection in a war-torn landscape.Central to the work is the exploration of camaraderie and the shifting moral landscapes that define life in wartime. As the characters face the horrors of battle, the novel also weaves in themes of romance and the struggle to maintain a sense of identity amidst widespread destruction. 'Horses in the Sky' stands as a significant literary contribution to the body of Great War literature, offering a gritty yet sensitive portrayal of the volunteers who served in the ambulance service.

One and a quarter pages. 1 vols. 4to. THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION. Responding to a question about the importance of his high school education and asking whether the college experience was necessary in creative writing. Regarding high school he writes "I think a high school education is extremely important, if for no other reason that this, that it gives the student a much better chance to sample fine literature than grammar school.I didn't have a college education, but I would not advise skipping it. It is almost esssential these days if one wants to eat. But I just don't think it has much to do with writing beyond adding to the would-be writer's general culture, and that can be enlarged through reading." He goes on to recommend"Writing is not easy. There will be moments when the writer knows he is turning out shoddy work and other moments when some detail of characterization or plot evades. If so, then let him ask his subconscious for the answer before he goes to sleep. Chances are after a little practice he will be the answer on awaking. This goes for other things too like mathematics." Barretto is probably best known for his first novel "A Conqueror Passes" which was one of the first novels to tell of the soldiers returning from war, He wrote several other novels and some non-fiction and autobiographical works.
