{"product_id":"her-privates-we","title":"Her Privates We","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published privately in 1929 as \u003cem\u003eThe Middle Parts of Fortune\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHer Privates We\u003c\/em\u003e is the novel of the Battle of the Somme told from the perspective of Bourne, an ordinary private. A raw and shockingly honest portrait of men engaged in war, 'that peculiarly human activity', the original edition was subject to 'prunings and excisions' because the bluntness of language was thought to make the book unfit for public distribution. This edition restores them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An undisputed classic of war writing and a lasting tribute to all who participated in the war, \u003cem\u003eHer Privates We\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published as written by 'Private 19022'. Championed by Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, TS Eliot and TE Lawrence, it has become recognised as a classic in the seventy years since its first publication. Now republished, with an introduction by William Boyd, it will again amaze a new generation of readers with its depiction of the horror, the ordinariness and the humanity of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Frederic Manning, William Boyd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44457832644844,"sku":"9781846687877","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781846687877.jpg?v=1708919556","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/her-privates-we","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
