About This Book

La narración sigue a miembros de una familia y su entorno inmediato mientras la vida cotidiana y las pasiones individuales son sacudidas por el estallido de un gran conflicto. Conviven escenas íntimas —amor, rivalidades y contrastes sociales— con descripciones de desplazamientos transatlánticos y crónicas de campaña que muestran la transformación violenta de destinos. A través de episodios domésticos y escenas de combate, la obra desarrolla una alegoría sobre la catástrofe colectiva: la guerra altera las lealtades, provoca ruina y muerte, e invita a reflexionar sobre la fortuna, la violencia y la fragilidad de las seguridades humanas.
