My research about the Great War us keeping me busy.
It's a journey. Truly it is. I never expect it to be this intense.
I'v thought to the Great War mostly as the quintessentia industrial war, so far. A war where people were dehumanised and objectified. But l'm discovering that while this is true, on the other hand this was also a war involving very powerful emotions.
@AlaMich
'Germany bows: The Armistice has been signed'
The war is over... more or less.
@AlaMich
Most of the frontpages look like this.
@AlaMich
About the sinking of the Lusitania
@AlaMich l gladly oblige 😊
This title says, 'The European War is about to break out'.
You know, l tend to think that the awareness to be one continent and to some extent one people is something new. I tend to think that one hundred years ago people only read and was interested in their country. But these frontpages speak of a different reality, one where even what happened far from home was already important.
The bulk of the book is made up by the frontpages of the regular newspaper.
This is the first one, the news of the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo.
There are reproductions of the colour frontpage of the Sunday edition.
They do suffer of propaganda intent, but they're still awesome.
I know this is very ltalian, but l wanted to share anyway.
This is a collection of the front pages of the most important Italian newspaper during the years of the Great War.
Couldn't resist!
I want to learn more about the tragic events that lead to The Great War (World War I) but I wouldn't know where to begin. Anybody has any books to recomend?
