About This Novel
At the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was prosperous and peaceful. Suddenly, the Europeans who had enjoyed all this were dragged into the Great War, experiencing deep suffering, sorrow and fear. After the Napoleonic Wars, Europe had been at the pinnacle of civilization for nearly a hundred years, but now it suddenly fell into the abyss of barbarism. The 20th century, which opened with the praises of civilization, turned into a century of war. From 1914 to 1949, Europe experienced two brutal wars in succession, and seemed determined to destroy itself. It was a time of great chaos. Ethnic hatred, territorial disputes, class conflicts, and economic crises have poisoned politics. Under the haze of war, the evil of human nature is revealed through machines and technology. It was also a time of great change. After the two wars, Europe, which had gone through hell, tried to be reborn on the ruins of humanity and civilization, and the outline of a new Europe gradually became clear. In the first half of the 20th century, Europe went to hell and was reborn. After this chilling history, the world we live in is moving forward bearing its mark.
