Schlump
Schlump | Hans Herbert Grimm
2 posts | 5 read
A GERMAN CLASSIC FROM A FORGOTTEN AUTHOR Schlump 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.

Schlump is a WWI novel, kind of a cross between All Quiet on the Western Front and The Good Soldier Å vejk. Horrific battle scenes alternate with some very funny picaresque tales. Very readable, very enjoyable, and a fantastic story of trench warfare and all the insanity of WWI. Highly recommended!
