Book Overview
The Wingless Victory is a play in three acts written by Maxwell Anderson. The story is set in a small town in America during World War I. The play revolves around the lives of two brothers, one of whom is a war hero and the other a pacifist. The war hero, David, returns home after being injured in battle and is hailed as a hero by the townspeople. However, his brother, Paul, who is a pacifist, is shunned by the community for his beliefs. The play explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the consequences of war. The characters are complex and well-developed, and the dialogue is both poignant and thought-provoking. The Wingless Victory is a powerful play that challenges the audience to consider the true cost of war and the impact it has on individuals and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
