Sobre IBD

This semi-fictional account of British soldiers during the early days of World War I offers a compelling blend of realism, irony, and resilience. Drawing from first-hand observation, the book chronicles the transformation of civilians into soldiers-capturing both the absurdities of military life and the quiet heroism of endurance. Through its portraits of humor, hardship, and evolving identity, it stands as an essential narrative of the Great War’s human dimension.Ian Hay (1876-1952) was an English writer. He published light and humorous novels, including 'A Safety Match' (1911) and 'A Knight on Wheels' (1914), as well as the stirring war books 'The First Hundred Thousand' (1915) and 'Carrying On' (1917).
