Soldier of the Great War（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　For Alessandro Giullani, the young son of a prosperous Roman
Lawyer, golden trees shimmer in the sun beneath a sky of perfect
blue. At night the moon is amber and the city of Rome seethes with
light. He races horses across the country to the sea, and in the
Alps he practices the precise and sublime art of mountain climbing.
At the ancient university in Bologna he is a student of painting
and the science of beauty. And he falls in love. His is a world of
adventure and dreams, of music, storm, and the spirit. Then the
Great War intervenes. Half a century later, in August of 1964,
Alessandro, a white-haired professor, still tall and proud, finds
himself unexpectedly on the road with an illiterate young factory
worker. As they walk toward Monte Prato, a village seventy
kilometers distant, the old man tells the story of his life. How he
became a soldier. A hero. A prisoner. A deserter. A wanderer in the
hell that claimed Europe. And how he tragically lost one family and
gained another. The boy is dazzled by the action and envious of the
richness and color of the story, and realizes that the old man’s
magnificent tale of love and war is more than a tale: it is the
recapitulation of his life, his reckoning with mortality, and above
all, a love song for his family.
