Tietoa tästä äänikirjasta
In A Shropshire Lad, A.E. Housman recreates a nostalgic world of lost love, lost youth, thwarted friendships, unfaithful girls, male bonding, untimely death and the uncertain glories of being a soldier. The poems deal with the exuberance of youth Ð its aspirations and disappointments, its na•ve certainties and tragic mistakes. Though written in 1895, it struck a chord with the generation of young men who fought in World WarÊI. It was said that every ÔTommyÕ had a copy in his knapsack. It has never been out of print.
