Good-bye to all that. New ed., rev. with a prologue and an epilogue

"The objects of this autobiography, written at the age of thirty-three, are simple enough: an opportunity for a formal good-bye to you and to you and to you and to me and to all that; forgetfulness, because once all this has been settled in my mind and written down and published it need never be thought about again; money."

  • "Robert Graves records the events of his life up to the age of thirty-three when he left his native land for Marjorca."@en
  • "In this soldier's story, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the monumental loss of innocence that occurred as a result of World War I. Written after the war and as Graves was leaving England--he thought, forever--Good-bye to All That bids farewell not only to his birthplace. By the year of his departure, a way of life had ended, and England and the modern world would never be the same. Tracing Grave's upbringing through his entry into the war at age twenty-one as a patriotic captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, this dramatic, poignant, and often wry memoir depicts all the horrors and disillusionment of the Great War, from life in the trenches and the loss of dear friends to the absurdity of government bureaucracy. Paul Fussell has hailed Good-by to All That as "the best memoir of the First World War" and has written the introduction to this new edition. An enormous success when it was first issued, Good-bye to All That continues to earn its designations a truly timeless classic."@en
  • "This book has been described as one of the great autobiographies of the 20th century. The text was writtem when the author was about to leave England after much personal turmoil. In it the intractable experience of the First World War is digested by Graves' poetic imagination into literature. At the same time, it is one of the most candid self portraits ever drawn, while containing vivid portraits of his close friends."
  • ""In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing "never to make England my home again". This is his superb account of his life up until that 'bitter leave-taking': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him throughout his life. It also contains memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets, including Siegfried Sassoon and Thomas Hardy, and covers his increasingly unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson. Goodbye to All That, with its vivid, harrowing descriptions of the Western Front, is a classic war document, and also has immense value as one of the most candid self-portraits of an artist ever written." --Contratapa."
  • "In this autobiography, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the monumental and universal loss of innocence that occurred as a result of the First World War. Written after the war and as he was leaving his birthplace, the book bids farewell not only to England and his family and friends, but also to a way of life. Tracing his upbringing from his solidly middle-class Victorian childhood through his entry into the war at age 21 as a patriotic captain in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, this dramatic, poignant, often wry autobiography goes on to depict the horrors and disillusionment of the Great War, from life in the trenches and the loss of dear friends, to the stupidity of government bureaucracy and the absurdity of English class stratification. Paul Fussell has hailed it as "the best memoir of the First World War" and has written the introduction to this new edition.--From publisher description."@en
  • "Autobiografie van de Engelse schrijver (geb. 1895), waarin hij vooral veel aandacht schenkt aan de jaren van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, die hij aan het Franse front doorbracht."
  • "Autobiografisch relaas van de romanschrijver en dichter met de nadruk op de strijd in de loopgraven tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog."
  • "Le récit autobiographique d'un jeune soldat parti au front en 1914, à dix-neuf ans. Deux ans plus tard, il est laissé pour mort au Bois des Freux ... Ce texte, rédigé à 33 ans, lui permet de se laver de cette guerre, sans larmes, avec humour. pour se consacrer ensuite à l'écriture poétique en particulier."
  • ""English author Robert Graves says goodbye to England, family, friends, and a way of life as he gives his own account of the horrific side of World War I.""@en
  • "'There has been a lot of fighting hereabouts. The trenches have made themselves rather than been made, and run inconsequently in and out of the big thirty-foot high stacks of bricks; it is most confusing. The parapet of a trench which we don't occupy is built up with ammunition boxes and corpses'. In one of the most honest and candid self-portraits ever committed to paper, Robert Graves tells the extraordinary story of his experiences as a young officer in the First World War. He describes life in the trenches in vivid, raw detail, how the dehumanizing horrors he witnessed left him shell-shocked. They were to haunt him for the rest of his life."
