Everyone who witnessed it was cheered by the spectacular happening.That night something happened to me on the mountain. The weight of the rice coupled with the awful cough which I had to try and repress broke something in me. It was not physical; it was simply that part of my spirit went out of me, and in the whole of my life since that night it has never been the same again.

Visit BookSleuth For the next three months, he is on the run, helped and sheltered by extremely poor anti-Fascist Italian peasants whose material lives would have been greatly improved by the sums of money the Germans paid to informers. This is an extraordinary account of Eric Newby's survival as a prisoner of War in Italy during World War II. More importantly it is the story of the heroic generosity of the Italian peasants who secretly, and at great personal risk, sheltered the released prisoners after the armistice in 1943, but before the end of the war. The Germans were still fighting the allies in Italy and the Fascists declared death for anyone who aided former POWs. It is also a a story of a time and a sensibility so removed from our own that one wonders if we are better or worse for all our vaunted technology. urn:oclc:314156317 Republisher_date 20180812083807 Republisher_operator [email protected] Republisher_time 494 Scandate 20180809203031 Scanner ttscribe15.hongkong.archive.org Scanningcenter hongkong Tts_version v1.58-final-25-g44facaa Worldcat (source edition)
