THEY HOSED THEM OUT
Book ID/图书代码: 14058013B64933
English Summary/英文概要: In John Bede Cusack’s fictionalised military memoir They Hosed Them Out, fact and fiction intersect to tell the powerful story of one man’s experience as an air gunner during the Second World War. Cusack transcends the limitations of non-fiction and traditional war literature to evoke not only the well-documented horrors of war but also the adventure. Written with a profound mixture of bitterness and cynicism, humour and camaraderie, Cusack’s sardonic Australian humour offers a unique and personal story of an Australian underdog caught up in a world war.
They Hosed Them Out, first published in the early 1960s, deserves to be regarded as a classic of Australian war literature, and the main goal of this new edition is to preserve the author’s voice and his distinctly Australian story of war. Includes a memoir of the author by his daughter, and an introduction by war historian Robert Brokenmouth.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在约翰•贝德•库萨克的虚构的军事回忆录《他们用软管冲洗出来》,事实与虚构相交,讲述了关于一个男人在第二次世界大战期间担任空气炮手的充满力量的故事。库萨克超越了非小说和传统战争文学的局限性,不仅唤起了对战争的恐怖记录,还有战争的冒险。辛酸和玩世不恭,幽默和友爱深刻的混合在一起,库萨克嘲讽式的澳大利亚幽默讲述了一个澳大利亚失败者卷入一场世界大战的独一无二的故事。
