Description
A Stricken Field A Novel by Martha Gellhorn is a powerful and moving account of life under Nazi occupation. In 1938, Gellhorn witnessed Prague's transformation from democracy to occupied country, an experience that inspired her most personal and compelling work of fiction. The novel follows a journalist who returns to Prague after its annexation, only to find her efforts to help refugees and convey the shocking state of the country both frustrating and futile. This is a convincing and thought-provoking portrayal of a people under brutal oppression, with Gellhorn's writing quick with movement and sympathy. Gellhorn's personal testimony has been translated into this novel, bringing force and point to its exploration of death, humanity, and the human condition.
