Schlump

A GERMAN CLASSIC FROM A FORGOTTEN AUTHORSchlump is seventeen, a romantic, a chancer and a dreamer. It's 1915 so naturally he volunteers for war. In France he is assigned an administrative position in a small town and has a marvellous time. But when he gets to the trenches, where death and mindless destruction are the everyday, he starts to understand something about war. Funny, brutal and charming, here s the First World War from the perspective of the inimitable Schlump.
