Kuşların şarkısı = Birdsong

Published to international critical and popular acclaim, this intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel spans three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the present. As the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford passes through a tempestuous love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the dark, surreal world beneath the trenches of No Man's Land, Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient. Crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility of love, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and marveled at for years to come.

  • "Amiens, północna Francja, rok 1910. Młody Anglik, Stephen Wraysford, przybywa z Londynu do domu francuskiego przemysłowca Reň Azaire'a, by pomóc mu w unowocześnieniu jego fabryki tekstyliów. Od pierwszych chwil młody przybysz ulega urokowi żony gospodarza, Isabelle, która tkwi w nieudanym małżeństwie ze starszym, wybuchowym mężczyzną, opiekując się jego dziećmi z poprzedniego małżeństwa. Pod nieobecność Azaire'a między Stephenem a Isabelle wybucha niemożliwy do utrzymania w sekrecie, żarliwy romans. Gdy sprawa wychodzi na jaw, kochankowie uciekają do Prowansji i decydują się na wspólne życie. Pewnego dnia Isabelle odchodzi bez słowa wyjaśnienia. Flandria, rok 1916. Stephen jest porucznikiem piechoty, walczącym w okopach północnej Francji; w sekrecie pisze pamiętnik, choć jest to wbrew wojskowym przepisom. Wspomnienia o Isabelle - jedynej kobiecie, którą kochał - są ciągle żywe. Stephen otrzymuje od dowódcy rozkaz dołączenia do oddziału "tunelarzy", straceńców podkładających ładunki wybuchowe pod pozycjami wroga. Latem ruszają na południe i biorą udział w bitwie nad Somą. Dopiero to potworne doświadczenie uświadamia mu, co naprawdę liczy się w życiu."
