O knihe
The Red Planet is a study of bravery, cowardice, fear, and heroism. The story is told by Duncan Meredyth, a former English officer, and is set in a small town close to London during World War I. A high-explosive round that destroyed his legs and one of Merigold's eyes forced him and his devoted servant out of the battle. The author skillfully paints a picture of English humor, human resiliency, and national hardship in order to tell Leonard Boyce's narrative against that backdrop. A guy who appears to be heroic, he occasionally has attacks of uncontrollable, paralyzing dread, which leads him to permit disasters to occur that might have been avoided or changed at crucial points in his life. The book describes his failures and successes throughout his life as he battles that flaw. It will be difficult to forget Meredyth, Marigold, and Betty Fairfax since they are all portrayed so effectively. This book provides fascinating and realistic insight into living in England during the war.
