The modern world has yet to reach the inhabitants of this remote region of the Habsburg Empire. Among them is Piotr, a bandy-legged peasant, who wants nothing more from life than an official railway cap, a cottage, and a bride with a dowry. But then the war reaches the mountains and Piotr is drafted into the army. All the weight of imperial authority is used to mould him into an unthinking fighting machine, forced to fight a war he does not understand, for interests other than his own.The Salt of the Earth is a classic war novel and a powerfully pacifist tale about the consequences of war for ordinary men.-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a First published as: SoÌl ziemi in Warsaw, 1935. 546 $a Translated to English from the Polish 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 648 7 $a 1914-1918 $2 fast 650 0 $a Draftees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111377 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Social aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113819 650 7 $a Soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125233 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 650 7 $a Draftees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736091 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2015026020 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726640 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026590 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026370 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 700 1 $a Corness, Patrick, $e translator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011084665 700 1 $i Translation of: $a Wittlin, JoÌzef, $d 1896-1976. $t SoÌl ziemi. $l English. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2003032422 700 1 $a Wittlin, JoÌzef, $d 1896-1976. $t Healthy death. 700 1 $a Sands, Philippe, $d 1960- $e writer of foreword. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88052642 830 0 $a Classic First World War novel. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EA12DBE1BE411EA82BF083097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
