The Things They Carried

Giv mig besked når bogen er tilgængelig

The million-copy bestseller, which is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling.
‘The Things They Carried’ is, on its surface, a sequence of award-winning stories about the madness of the Vietnam War; at the same time it has the cumulative power and unity of a novel, with recurring characters and interwoven strands of plot and theme.
But while Vietnam is central to ‘The Things They Carried’, it is not simply a book about war. It is also a book about the human heart — about the terrible weight of those things we carry through our lives.

So much has been written about the Vietnam War. This long story, told with humour and horror by Tim O'Brien, makes it real. Perhaps in telling it, O'Brien seeks to make some kind of peace or perhaps he tries to relive it in the writing and come to some kind
of understanding. How do you make meaning of something
that probably should not have taken place? Something you
carry with you forever?
