Over There (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162678474)

Over There is a novel written by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1915. The story is set during World War I and follows the experiences of George Cannon, a wealthy businessman who volunteers to serve in the British Army. Cannon is initially reluctant to join the war effort, but his sense of duty and patriotism eventually lead him to enlist.The novel explores the impact of the war on Cannon's personal and professional life, as well as on his relationships with family and friends. It also delves into the broader social and political issues of the time, including the class divide and the changing role of women in society.Bennett's writing is noted for its realism and attention to detail, and Over There is no exception. The novel vividly depicts the harsh realities of trench warfare and the emotional toll it takes on those who experience it firsthand.Overall, Over There is a powerful and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people caught up in the turmoil of war.You should imagine a large plain, but not an empty plain, nor a plain entirely without hills. There are a few hills, including at least one very fine eminence (an agreeable old town on the top), with excellent views of the expanse. The expanse is considerably diversified. In the first place it is very well wooded; in the second place it is very well cultivated; and in the third place it is by no means uninhabited. Villages abound in it; and small market towns are not far off each other. These places are connected by plenty of roads (often paved) and canals, and by quite an average mileage of railways.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
