Unhappy far-off things

by Lord Dunsany

A title which was something of a departure for the Irish early master of the Fantasy genre: personal-experiences from The Great War - World War I. Dunsany's experiences in France - the abyssmal events that befell the French - are the subject of an indeed unhappy book. A moving reminisce of what Dunsany calls "The Abomination of Desolation."
