Description
"And the birds sang…" is Sebastian Faulks’s best-known novel, now a classic of contemporary English literature. Since its publication in 1993, it has never left the lists of the British people’s favorite literary works of all time. It is included in the literature and English-language courses of most university programs. In Britain alone, the book’s print run reached about two and a half million copies.
This is the story of a young Englishman, Stephen Reesford, who in 1910 arrives in the small French city of Amiens, where he falls in love with Isabelle Azaire. The young woman is unhappy in an unequal marriage and returns Stephen’s feelings. Unable to cope with the consuming passion, they flee Amiens…
War begins, and Stephen volunteers for the front, where amid the bloody chaos of world-scale events he desperately tries to preserve his sanity and the will to live. He records his feelings and thoughts in a diary—one he keeps despite wartime prohibitions.
Decades later, this diary falls into the hands of his granddaughter Elizabeth. The circle closes—past meets present.
This novel is a tribute to a great writer’s memory of the First World War. It’s about love and death, courage and suffering—about the destinies of people ground down by the gears of History.
