{"product_id":"memoirs-of-a-foxhunting-man-hb-z44","title":"Siegfried Sassoon: MEMOIRS OF A FOXHUNTING MAN Z44 [2017] hardback","description":"I can hear the creak of the saddle and the clop and clink of hoofs as we cross the bridge over the brook by Dundell Farm; there is a light burning in the farmhouse window, and the evening star glitters above a broken drift of half-luminous cloud. It is with a sigh that I remember simple moments such as those, when I understood so little of the deepening sadness of life, and only the strangeness of the spring was knocking at my heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1920s, a young man, grappling with the horrors of the war from which he had just returned, decided to write about a happier time. A time of cricket matches and fox-hunting, the busyness of village life and the shyness of youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat man was Siegfried Sassoon, and this is his book. Originally published anonymously, it went on to become Faber \u0026amp; Faber's first bestseller. A classic depiction of pre-First World War Britain, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man tells two mirrored stories, about a boy coming of age and a country losing its innocence.","brand":"Sassoon, Siegfried","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44314540966178,"sku":"9780571337262","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/sassoon-siegfried-memoirs-of-a-foxhunting-man-hb-z44-9780571337262-40353911144738.jpg?v=1673811161","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/memoirs-of-a-foxhunting-man-hb-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
