Description
Tragic events of the Russo-Japanese War through the experience of a military doctor.
“This is too sad to rejoice. Everywhere there were incompetent doctors-officials who had lost their individuality because of military discipline.”
Viktor Veresaev was an outstanding Russian writer and publicist, also known as a translator and historian of the Russian intelligentsia. His works are valued for their sincerity and accuracy in depicting society, as well as for his love for people seeking answers to moral and social questions.
As a military doctor, Veresaev took part in the Russo-Japanese War and described his observations in detail in the book “In the Japanese War.” Maxim Gorky noted that Veresaev was “a sober, honest witness” to these tragic events.
From the book you will learn:
• what happened on the Manderinskaya Road;
• how the events of the war affected Veresaev;
• why, during the battle at Shahe, doctors were inactive.
The book is intended for memoir lovers and for those interested in history.
