Regeneration (Regeneration Trilogy)

Regeneration (Regeneration Trilogy)

â€œCalls to mind such early moderns as Hemingway and Fitzgerald...Some of the most powerful antiwar literature in modern English fiction.â€â€”The Boston Globe

The first book of the Regeneration Trilogyâ€”a Booker Prize nominee and one of Entertainment Weeklyâ€™s 100 All-Time Greatest Novels.
Â
In 1917 Siegfried Sasson, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I. His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially classified "mentally unsound" and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers, set about restoring Sassoonâ€™s â€œsanityâ€ and sending him back to the trenches. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired. It is a story of a battle for a man's mind in which only the reader can decide who is the victor, who the vanquished, and who the victim.
Â
One of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time,Â RegnerationÂ has been hailed by critics across the globe.Â More than one hundred years since World War I, this book is as timely and relevant as ever.
