"And the birds sang..." - Sebastian Faulks' most famous novel, which has become a classic of modern English literature. Since its release in 1993, it has not left the lists of the most favorite British literary works of all time. It is included in literature and English courses at most universities. The circulation of the book in the UK alone amounted to about two and a half million copies. This is the story of a young Englishman, Stephen Raisford, who in 1910 arrives in the small French town of Amiens, where he falls in love with Isabelle Azer. The young woman is unhappy in an unequal marriage and reciprocates Stephen's feelings. Inability to cope with the mad passion makes them flee from Amiens... The war begins, Stephen goes to the front as a volunteer, where in the bloody mass of universal scale desperately tries to keep his sanity and will to live. He records his feelings and thoughts in a diary, which he keeps in defiance of wartime prohibitions. Decades later this diary falls into the hands of his granddaughter Elizabeth. The circle closes - the past meets the present. This novel is a great writer's tribute to the memory of the First World War. It is about love and death, about courage and suffering - about the fate of people caught in the millstones of History.
