Notă biografică
John Rodrigo Dos Passos (January 14, 1896-September 28, 1970) was born in Chicago and graduated from Harvard University. He was one of the great American authors and artists of the 20th century. After the trip to the Soviet Union, he started to move away from the Stalinist practises that he witnessed there. He was one of the first American authors to use the stream of consciousness technique, a combination of mixing historical artefacts with fictional characters that helps to create more realism and improve the understanding of the novel's historical importance. This method has been frequently copied and is a staple of modern stories. His famous works include Manhattan Transfer (1925), Three Soilders (1921), The Big Money (1936), and The 42nd Parallel (1930).
Textul de pe ultima copertă
John Dos Passos had just returned from studying architecture in Spain when America entered World War I and - driven by the idealism that infected many young Americans (including Hemingway and e.e. cummings) - he joined up as a driver for the Ambulance Corps. His rapid and profound disillusionment forms the core of Three Soldiers, a fierce denunciation of the military and of the far-reaching social implications of its exploitation of young men. The novel focuses on three main characters: Andrews, a young composer who finally revolts against the war's deadening regimentation; Chrisfield, an Indiana farm boy who chants the words "make the world safe for democracy" to himself in a futile attempt to block out the noises and terrors of battle; and Fuselli, a clerk who clings to the dream of becoming a corporal despite the mockery of his fellow soldiers. Required to renounce their individuality and to conform with unquestioning obedience, each one, in different ways, is ineradicably scarred by the dehumanizing effects of war.
