Description
Sebastian Faulks “And the Birds Sang…” is the most well-known novel by the British writer, which has become a classic of modern English literature. Since its publication, it has never left the lists of Britons’ most beloved literary works of all time. It is included in literature and English courses at most universities. In Britain alone, the book’s print run was around two and a half million copies. This is the story of young Englishman Stephen Reesford, who in 1910 arrives in the small French city of Amiens, where he falls in love with Isabelle Azers. The young woman is unhappy in an unequal marriage and returns Stephen’s feelings. Their inability to cope with their mad passion forces them to flee Amiens… Then war begins; Stephen volunteers for the front, where in the bloody chaos of world scale he desperately tries to preserve his sanity and his will to live. He records his feelings and thoughts in a diary he keeps despite wartime prohibitions. Decades later, this diary ends up in the hands of his granddaughter Elizabeth. The circle closes—past meets present. This novel is a tribute from a great writer to the memory of the First World War. It is about love and death, about courage and suffering—about the fates of people caught in the grinding mills of History.
