Leaving me wondering what I just read, a melancholic rendition of his childhood and living through this time period. It becomes bizarre to read as one know the context of what happens in the following years throughout Europe and the world. ( ) So immediate, so that it almost reads as stream of consciousness poetry: Close and slow, summer is ending in Hampshire, Ebbing away down ramps of shaven lawn where close-clipped yew Insulates the lives of retired generals and admirals And the spyglasses hung in the hall and the prayer-books ready in the pew And August going out to the tin trumpets of nasturtiums And the sunflowers’ Salvation Army blare of brass And the spinster sitting in a deck-chair picking up stitches Not raising her eyes to the noise of the ’planes that pass By turns, autobiographical and personal. But for all that, so of the historical moment, as he went into 1939. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Notable Lists
Written between August and December 1938, Autumn Journal is still considered one of the most valuable and moving testaments of living through the thirties by a young writer. It is a record of the author's emotional and intellectual experience during those months, the trivia of everyday living set against the events of the world outside, the settlement in Munich and slow defeat in Spain.
