"The general concept of this novel," the author has written, "came to my mind in 1936, when I was just leaving secondary school. Since then I have never parted from it, regarding it as the chief artistic design of my life." He has also said he considers the previous books he has published as minor to this -- "a result of the oddities of my life story. " "August 1914," the first part of this major work, is set at the outbreak of the First World War, and its moral concern is to establish the responsibility for Russia's defeat in the battle of Tannenberg. Limiting itself to the opening two weeks of the war, the novel describes the Russian offensive into East Prussia, which resulted in the encirclement and defeat of General Samsonov's Second Army by Hindenburg.
