À propos de cet audio

 A magnificent volume of short novels and an essential World War II report from one of America's great twentieth-century writers

A Penguin Classic

On the heels of the enormous success of his masterwork The Grapes of Wrath and at the height of the American war effort John Steinbeck, one of the most prolific and influential literary figures of his generation, wrote Bombs Away, a nonfiction account of his experiences with U.S. Army Air Force bomber crews during World War II. Now, for the first time since its original publication in 1942, Penguin Classics presents this exclusive edition of Steinbeck's introduction to the then-nascent U.S. Army Air Force and its bomber crew--the essential core unit behind American air power that Steinbeck described as "the greatest team in the world."

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Ce que les critiques en disent

My favorite element of the book was how we get a glimpse of the American at the beginning of the war, as opposed to the many WW2 texts that exist with the knowledge of how the war ends.

After reading all previous Steinbeck titles before this one its interesting how his voice and sense of narrative structure has developed. Though he seems to needlessly repeat himself, the 1942 American audience he was writing too might have benefited from this if they only read the chapters that pertained to them.

Lastly, the narrator does a fantastic job and I believe really understand the tone Steinbeck used in this book.

If you want to learn a little about Steinbeck, a little about WW2 and a little about America, then I highly recommend this book.
