The Middle Parts of Fortune: Text Classics



Buy from…

Introduced by Simon Caterson
The drumming of the guns continued, with bursts of great intensity. It was as though a gale streamed overhead, piling up great waves of sound, and hurrying them onwards to crash in surf on the enemy entrenchments. The windless air about them, by its very stillness, made that unearthly music more terrible to hear.

Hailed by Eliot, Pound, Lawrence and Hemingway, and based on the author's own experiences, The Middle Parts of Fortune is a breathtaking account of the Great War and the men who fought it.

About the author

Frederic Manning

Frederic Manning was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1882. Prevented by asthma from attending the usual educational institutions, he was taught largely at home, and at the age of sixteen was sent to England. In 1914 he joined the army, and as a soldier in the ranks ultimately fought in the terrible battles on the Somme. In 1929 he published, privately and anonymously, The Middle Parts of Fortune, his novel about military life.
