Na frontě padl voják a na všech frontách jich padly miliony. To je úděl války. Leží tu na bitevním poli se jmény i beze jmen, známí i neznámí padlí. A tu jeden z těch beze jména klade krutou otázku: proč jsem byl zabit? Ptá se a lidé mu odpovídají. ...... dramatický dialog.
Rex Warner Knihy
Rex Warner bol anglický klasik, spisovateľ a prekladateľ, na ktorého sa dnes pravdepodobne najviac spomína pre jeho alegorický román. V tomto diele mladý hrdina čelí rozpadu istôt o svojich blízkych a voľbe medzi zemitým, živočíšnym životom svojej rodnej dediny a čistým, efektívnym, emocionálne odmeraným životom letca. Warnerovo dielo skúma stret medzi svetom inštinktov a svetom racionálneho chladu.
Milostný příběh. V roce 1983 BBC natočilo adaptaci The Aerodrome. Scénář byl napsán Robin Chapmanem a režírovaný Giles Fosterem.
Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 b.c. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into 27 years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.
