Over There is a novel written by Arnold Bennett that was first published in 1915. The story is set during World War I and follows the experiences of George Cannon, a successful businessman who is drafted into the army at the age of 41. The novel explores the impact of the war on Cannon's personal and professional life, as well as on the lives of those around him. Cannon initially struggles with the physical demands of army training and the loss of his comfortable lifestyle. However, he eventually adapts to life in the military and becomes a respected member of his unit. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including other soldiers, officers, and civilians, each with their own unique experiences of the war.The novel also touches on themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the class divide in British society. Bennett's writing style is straightforward and accessible, with vivid descriptions of the war's impact on the home front and the front lines. Overall, Over There provides a compelling look at the human cost of war and the resilience of those who are forced to endure it.You should imagine a large plain, but not an empty plain, nor a plain entirely without hills. There are a few hills, including at least one very fine eminence (an agreeable old town on the top), with excellent views of the expanse. The expanse is considerably diversified. In the first place it is very well wooded; in the second place it is very well cultivated; and in the third place it is by no means uninhabited. Villages abound in it; and small market towns are not far off each other. These places are connected by plenty of roads (often paved) and canals, and by quite an average mileage of railways.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
