The budding young Hungarian artist Béla Zombory-Moldován was on holiday when the First World War broke out in August 1914.
Called up by the army, he soon found himself thousands of miles away in Galicia advancing on Russian lines and facing relentless rifle and artillery fire.
Badly wounded, he returns to normal life, which now strikes him as unspeakably strange. He has witnessed, he realizes, the end of a way of life. Recently discovered among private papers and published here for the first time in any language, this extraordinary reminiscence is a deeply moving addition to the literature of the terrible war that defined the twentieth century.
