aug 14, 1912 - The Human Slaughterhouse - Wilhelm Lamszus

Description:

Wilhelm Lamszus's novel tells the linear story, divided into ten chapters, of a young man requisitioned for the war. These ten chapters are as many striking pictures of a war of the future where military machines have multiplied their deadly power and turn the battlefield into a real butchery.

This novel will have a sequel with Das Irrenhaus. Visionen vom Krieg ( The Insane Insane Visions of War ), published in 1914/1915, which will not be translated into French
