À propos de ce produit

Product Information

One of the first questions people ask about The Things They Carried is this: Is it a novel, or a collection of short stories? The title page refers to the book simply as "a work of fiction," defying the conscientious reader's need to categorize this masterpiece. It is both: a collection of interrelated short pieces which ultimately reads with the dramatic force and tension of a novel. Yet each one of the twenty-two short pieces is written with such care, emotional content, and prosaic precision that it could stand on its own. The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and of course, the character Tim O'Brien who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy), and occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and buddies; they miss the lives they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other, because in Vietnam they are the only family they have. We hear the voices of the men and build images upon their dialogue. The way they tell stories about others, we hear them telling stories about themselves. With the creative verve of the greatest fiction and the intimacy of a searing autobiography, The Things They Carried  is a testament to the men who risked their lives in America's most controversial war. It is also a mirror held up to the frailty of humanity. Ultimately The Things They Carried and its myriad protagonists call to order the courage, determination, and luck we all need to survive.

"I've got to make you read this book.... In a world filled too often with numbness, or shifting values, these stories shine in a strange and opposite direction, moving against the flow, illuminating life's wonder." --Rick Bass,The Dallas Morning News "The Things They Carriedis more than 'another' book about Vietnam.... It is a master stroke of form and imagery....The Things They Carriedis about life, about men who [fight] and die, about buddies, and about a lost innocence that might be recaptured through the memory of stories. O'Brien tells us these stories because he must. He tells them as they have never been told before." --Richmond Times-Dispatch, "I've got to make you read this book....

    Should be mandatory reading!

    Here in Chicago, a local school recently tried to ban this book, among others. I don't understand the purpose of banning this book, or any book for that matter. (OK, if you want to ban Debbie Does Dallas - The Novel, I can understand.) The Things They Carried, along with O'Brien's other books, Going After Cacciato and If I Die in a Combat Zone are superb reads. Most think they are just books about the Vietnam War, but they aren't. With eloquency and surrealism, O'Brien takes us on a journey through the insanity of war and how the mind copes. I would suggest If I Die in a Combat Zone first, as it is a memoir and a prelude the the other two. Violent and graphic? Yes. But O'Brien goes beyond just the surface violence, he delves into the psyche of the soldier, how they dealt with their ...

    Good timely manner

    Received it today, although it isn’t in perfect condition; the pages and words are in good condition on paper! It came early which makes me happy. Very good price.

    Okay book

    Was hoping it'll be more factual about the war but this book deals with human emotions. It was recommended as one of the top Vietnam war books but not what I'm looking for unfortunately. Seller is great; book is bleak.

    Sent wrong item

    I ordered The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and got a completely different book. It looks nothing like the photo of the item I ordered, so I don’t understand how this could’ve happened, even accidentally. I’m peeved.
