Robert Graves was born in 1895 in Wimbledon. He went from school to the First World War, where he became a captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and was seriously wounded at the Battle of the Somme. He wrote his autobiography, Goodbye to All That, in 1929, and it was soon established as a modern classic. He died on 7 December 1985 in Majorca, his home since 1929.
"There was no patriotism in the trenches. It was too remote a sentiment, and rejected as fit only for civilians. A new arrival who talked patriotism would soon be told to cut it out. As Blighty, Great Britain was a quiet, easy place to get back to out of the present foreign misery, but as a nation it was nothing."
This is the original version of Robert Graves's intense memoir of the First World War, restoring this raw, emotionally truthful, darkly comic work to the way it was first written, by a young man still reeling from the trenches.
'We see the dark heart of the book even more clearly, and hear it beating even more loudly, in this original edition than we do in the comparatively careful and considered terms of the later one' Andrew Motion
'One of the most candid self-portraits, warts and all, ever painted' TLS

以前看亞瑟王和羅馬曆史劇的時候雖然RG的名字一再齣現但從來也沒想過瞭解一下,直到TEL的傳記裏一些匪夷所思的事情纔覺得大概繞不過他...喜歡這本書裏以黑色幽默嘲諷公學生活和軍隊官僚風氣,各種荒誕和麻木不仁的戰爭場景常常讓人毛骨悚然。57版的詞句比29版更文雅,還原瞭一些隱去的人名,TEL(的黑曆史)有擴寫,戰後部分則刪改較多,還刪瞭29版開篇引用的Laura Riding的詩和獻給她的原跋(並不想看你們談戀愛,我不如爬牆去看Sassoon????)四星半。
