Сравнить цены на книгу: Armageddon in Retrospect (Vonnegut Kurt); Vintage, 2009

First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death, «Armageddon in Retrospect» is a collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War II — a piece that is as timely today as it was then — to a painfully funny short story about three privates and their fantasies of the perfect first meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included in this title are Vonnegut's last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, with an introduction by the author's son, Mark Vonnegut. «Armageddon in Retrospect» says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the writer.
