Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "What Small Wars shows us, and quite masterfully, is on how many fronts war takes its toll. Love, trust and intimacy in marriage become casualties. But so does war itself--our belief in it, that it's right and just and necessary; that it solves anything.Told with strikingly clear and muscular…prose.Jones's narration is powerfully restrained, with a great deal of subterranean tension." -- Cleveland Plain DealerSet on the colonial, war-torn island of Cyprus in 1956, Sadie Jones tells the story of a young solider, Hal Treherne, and the effects of this "small war" on him, his wife Clara, and their family. Hal is a dedicated soldier on the brink of a brilliant career. He is eager to lead his men into combat. Clara, however, is relieved when they are posted instead to seemingly peaceful sun-kissed Cyprus. But war erupts over unification with Greece, the island is consumed by violence--and Hal discovers that his military training cannot help him navigate the minefields of moral compromise that lie beneath every battle he fights. Clara grows fearful of her increasingly distant husband. When she needs him most, she finds the once-tender Hal a changed man--a betrayal that is only part of the shocking personal crisis to come. Reminiscent of classic tales of love and war such as The English Patient and Atonement, Jones's gripping novel also calls to mind the master works of Virginia Woolf and their portrayal of the quiet desperation of a marriage in crisis. Small Wars is at once a deeply emotional, meticulously researched work of historical fiction and a profound meditation on war-time atrocities committed both on and off the battlefield. Passionate and brilliantly rendered, "Small Wars" questions how honor can exist amid cruelty and asks what becomes of intimacy in the grinding gears of empire. A major in the British Army, Hal Treherne is a dedicated soldier on the brink of a brilliant career. He is eager to lead his men into combat; his wife, Clara, however, is relieved when they are posted instead to seemingly peaceful sun-kissed Cyprus. But war erupts over unification with Greece, the island is consumed by violence—and Hal discovers that his military training cannot help him navigate the minefields of moral compromise that lie beneath every battle he fights.

Zustand: Bueno. : En la isla de Chipre, devastada por la guerra en 1956, Sadie Jones cuenta la historia de un joven soldado, Hal Treherne, y los efectos de esta "pequeña guerra" en él, su esposa Clara y su familia. Hal es un soldado dedicado al borde de una brillante carrera. Está ansioso por dirigir a sus hombres al combate. Cl…ara, sin embargo, se siente aliviada cuando son destinados en cambio a la aparentemente pacífica y soleada Chipre. Pero la guerra estalla por la unificación con Grecia, la isla es consumida por la violencia, y Hal descubre que su entrenamiento militar no puede ayudarle a navegar por los campos minados del compromiso moral que se encuentran debajo de cada batalla que libra. Clara teme a su marido, cada vez más distante. Cuando más lo necesita, encuentra a Hal, que antes era tierno, convertido en un hombre cambiado, una traición que es sólo una parte de la impactante crisis personal que se avecina. Recuerda a los cuentos clásicos de amor y guerra como El paciente inglés y Atonement, la apasionante novela de Jones también recuerda las obras maestras de Virginia Woolf y su retrato de la silenciosa desesperación de un matrimonio en crisis. Small Wars es a la vez una obra de ficción histórica profundamente emotiva y meticulosamente investigada y una profunda meditación sobre las atrocidades de la guerra cometidas dentro y fuera del campo de batalla.
