"Where have you been, Adam?" - "In the trenches, Lord, in the war..."
A landmark anti-fascist novel that turned a young author who had been through World War II into a twentieth-century literary classic. The year is 1945. The war started by Germany has returned to its territory. Shells are bursting, bombs are falling on towns and villages. And exhausted people, awakened from the monstrous lies of Hitler's propaganda, are trying to survive.... Nine chapter-stories about people caught in the millstones of war, about human suffering and love, hope and hopelessness, life and death.
