Excerpt from On the Choice of a ProfessionIt took time, and you saw the wall, or fort, or house disintegrate. But these six - inch German howitzer shells do not dismember, they destroy. It was like a gigantic conjuring trick. Over your head an invisible express train sv'vept through space, in front of you a house disappeared. Except for those who were escaping, and the infantry who guarded the town, the streets were empty. The infantry told us they had just returned from Belgium. They were lean, tanned, clear-eyed. In spite of their long hike they were nei ther footsore nor weary. Instead, they were extremely fit and cheerful. They disregarded the shells entirely, and were moving from house to house inquiring anxiously for any cigarettes the Germans might have overlooked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
