Regeneration Regeneration trilogy. Book one

"The trilogy is trying to tell something about the parts of war that don't get into the official accounts" 'Pat Barker The first book of the Regeneration Trilogy and a Booker Prize nominee 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 Sassoon's "sanity" 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. One of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time, Regneration has been hailed by critics across the globe. As August 2014 marks the 100-year anniversary of World War I, this book is as timely and relevant as ever.

  • "Set in a British military hospital during WWI, this novel blends fact and fiction, drawing its two protagonists from the pages of history. The author of Union Street (made into the film Stanley and Iris) portrays overwhelmed men who try to come to terms with their outrage of a futile war."
  • "De Britse dichter Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) wordt in 1917 behandeld voor de gevolgen van een shell shock in de loopgraven in Frankrijk."

  • "The story of soldiers of World War I sent to an asylum for emotional troubles. Amongst the soldiers meeting there are Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon."@en
  • "Het is 1917. In een openbare verklaring neemt Siegfried Sassoon, dichter en officier in het Britse leger, stelling tegen de zinloosheid van de oorlog. Zijn provocerende aanklacht, gericht tot de politici die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de slachtingen aan het front, brengt hem echter niet voor de krijgsraad. Sassoon wordt opgenomen in het militaire hospitaal Craiglockhart, waar het tot een treffen komt tussen hem en dr. Rivers. Niemandsland is het eerste deel van de Weg der geesten-trilogie, Pat Barkers levensechte evocatie van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De andere twee delen zijn Het oog in de deur (in 1993 bekroond met de Guardian Fiction Prize) en Weg der geesten (bekroond met de Booker Prize 1995). Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
  • "'Regeneration' begins 'The Regeneration Trilogy' and is followed by The Eye in the Door, winner of the 1993 Guardian Fiction Prize, and The Ghost Road, which won the 1995 Booker Prize."
  • "Craiglockhart War Hospital, 1917, where army psychiatrist William Rivers is treating shell-shocked soldiers. Under his care are the poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, as well as mute Billy Prior, who is only able to communicate by means of pencil and paper. Rivers' job is to make the men in his charge healthy enough to fight. Yet the closer he gets to mending his patients' minds, the harder becomes every decision to send them back to the horrors of the front... REGENERATION is the classic exploration of how the traumas of war brutalized a generation of young men."
  • "Presents an exploration of how the traumas of war brutalised a generation of young men."@en
  • "First part of a haunting trilogy. Tells of a Doctor's attempts to restore the sanity of officers who have been driven out of their minds by their experiences of the War."
  • "Winner of the 1995 Booker Prize."
  • "When Siegfried Sassoon protests against the continuation of the war, he is deemed mentally unsound, and sent to Craiglockhart. At Craiglockhart War Hospital, Dr William Rivers attempts to restore the sanctity of men driven out of their minds by the First World War."@en
  • "Set in a British military hospital during WWI, this novel blends fact and fiction, drawing its two protagonists from the pages of history. The author of Union Street (made into the film Stanley and Iris) portrays over whelmed men who try to come to terms with their outrage of a futile war."@en
  • "De bekende oorlogsdichter Siegfried Sassoon ondergaat een behandeling in een inrichting voor militairen die door de Eerste Wereldoorlog geestelijk ontwricht zijn."
  • "A vivid evocation of the agony of the First World War. At its centre is a real-life encounter that occurred at Craiglockart in 1917 between W.H.R. Rivers, an army psychologist, and Siegfried Sassoon."
  • "In 1917, decorated British officer and poet Siegfried Sassoon wrote a declaration condemning the war. Instead of a court-martial, he was sent to a hospital for other "shell-shocked" officers where he was treated by Dr. William Rivers, noted an thropologist and psychiatrist. Author Barker turns these true occurrences into a compelling and brilliant antiwar novel. Sassoon's complete sanity disturbs Dr. Rivers to such a point that he questions his own role in "curing" his patients only to send them back to the slaughter of the war in France. World War I decimated an entire generation of European men, and the horrifying loss of life and the callousness of the government led to the obliteration of the Victorian ideal."
