Hanson Serie

Questa serie si immerge nelle crude realtà della guerra, in particolare del conflitto vietnamita, attraverso gli occhi di un giovane soldato. Narra il suo viaggio da ingenuo neolaureato a veterano temprato, alle prese con gli orrori della battaglia, le complesse relazioni e i demoni interiori. Scritte in una prosa vivida e da incubo, queste opere offrono uno sguardo profondo e autentico sulle esperienze traumatiche e sul difficile ritorno alla vita civile.

    Kent Anderson's stunning debut novel is a modern classic, a harrowing, authentic picture of one American soldier's experience of the Vietnam War--"unlike anything else in war literature" (Los Angeles Review of Books). Hanson joins the Green Berets fresh out of college. Carrying a volume of Yeats's poems in his uniform pocket, he has no idea of what he's about to face in Vietnam--from the enemy, from his fellow soldiers, or within himself. In vivid, nightmarish, and finely etched prose, Kent Anderson takes us through Hanson's two tours of duty and a bitter, ill-fated return to civilian life in-between, capturing the day-to-day process of war like no writer before or since.
