Excerpt from Anno 1870: KriegsbilderAs a whole and seen from a distance war is some thing too detestable for both artist and poet, but when looked at from near at hand and in full view of its details and episodes, then the picturesqueness of mili tary life reveals itself, and all seems human and noble The shiver of the soldier in rain and snow, the pathetic and grotesque position in which he sleeps, the posi tion in which he dies, in short, the mean, poor, and pitiable heroisms of his life and death offer a fertile field for anecdotal art and literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
