About this ebook
''Per ventuno giorni vissi senza mai togliermi i vestiti, dormii sull’erba bagnata o nel fango, o nella melma, e con niente addosso se non la mia mantella. Una notte, mentre dormivamo, ci inzuppammo fino alle ossa a causa di piogge torrenziali. Non uno di noi si mosse. Molte cose considerate necessità, semplicemente furono soppresse dalla nostra esistenza. Uno spazzolino da denti non era neppure immaginabile. Mangiavamo istintivamente con le mani. Sembravamo tanti lupi irsuti e magri. Ricordo di esser andato avanti per più di tre giorni senza mettere tra i denti un qualsiasi tipo di cibo, e molte volte dovemmo leccare la rugiada dall’erba per mancanza d’acqua. Una certa fierezza nasce in te, un’indifferenza assoluta per qualsiasi cosa il mondo possieda, tranne che per il dovere di combattere. Stai mangiando un tozzo di pane e un uomo viene ucciso nella trincea accanto a te. Tu lo guardi con calma per un attimo, e poi ti rimetti a mangiare. Perché non dovresti? Non c’è niente da fare. Alla fine tu parli della tua propria morte con così poco entusiasmo come lo faresti per un impegno a pranzo. Non c’è più niente nella tua mente, se non il fatto che orde di uomini a cui appartieni stanno combattendo contro orde di altri uomini, e il vostro lato deve vincere''.
Fritz Kreisler
Friedrich "Fritz" Kreisler (February 2, 1875 – January 29, 1962) was an Austrian-born violinist and composer. One of the most noted violin masters of his day, and regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing. Like many great violinists of his generation, he produced a characteristic sound which was immediately recognisable as his own. Although it derived in many respects from the Franco-Belgian school, his style is nonetheless reminiscent of the gemütlich (cozy) lifestyle of pre-war Vienna. He wrote an autobiography about his life during WW I.
