About the Author:
Born in 1882 in Australia, Manning came to England in 1898. He is best known for "The Middle Parts of Fortune". He died in 1935.
From AudioFile:
Stanley McGeagh's low-key, dispassionate narration may at first seem unsuited to a novel set on the horrific Western Front of WWI. But Manning's novel is nothing if not matter-of-fact in its depiction of the lives of ordinary British infantry soldiers who are called upon to fight and die in the cause. Manning is concerned with the ordinariness of life even in the extraordinary situation of war. He details the drudgery, the camaraderie, the animosities, and the longings of soldiers, interspersed, of course, with moments of profound terror and dread. McGeagh's sober, measured reading gets across the notion that even when violence and destruction are the norms, the most mundane and fundamental aspects of living persist.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. THE MIDDLE PARTS OF FORTUNE, published anonymously in 1929 under the title HER PRIVATES WE, was from the start an underground classic, considered the ultimate novel of trench warfare. This is a searing evocation of the horror, brutality, futility, nobility, and courage which are the staples in man's never-ending battle against the inevitability of death. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR004344581
