“Al fronte” racchiude il lavoro come corrispondente di guerra del grande giornalista Luigi Barzini, nelle zone dove si svolgevano le operazioni più importanti della Prima Guerra Mondiale.

Luigi Barzini (Orvieto, 7 febbraio 1874 – Milano, 6 settembre 1947) è stato un giornalista e scrittore italiano.

«È il 12 marzo. Il rombo del cannone si fa ancora sentire, sebbene lontano, verso il nord. Ma la terribile battaglia si può considerare finita. Attorno alla sacra, vecchia capitale della Manciuria è tornato l’antico silenzio. Anzi, una quiete più che mai profonda alita sopra le deserte fumanti rovine e sui distrutti villaggi popolati da una funebre folla di cadaveri senza numero»

Il reportage di Barzini sulla battaglia di Mukden (guerra russo-giapponese del 1905) apparso sul «Corriere» il 24 marzo 1905, è considerato tutt’oggi un pezzo magistrale di giornalismo di guerra.

“Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1928. The first edition was printed privately in Florence, Italy, with assistance from Pino Orioli; an unexpurgated edition could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. The story concerns a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, has been paralysed from the waist down due to a war injury. In addition to Clifford’s physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a major motif of the novel which is the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The novel is about Constance’s realisation that she cannot live with the mind alone; she must also be alive physically. This realisation stems from a heightened sexual experience Constance has only felt with Mellors, suggesting that love can only happen with the element of the body, not the mind.
