Levi & De Bernieres/On War

Abstract: A 5 page essay that address two novels. The writer argues that Primo Levi in his novel If Not Now, When? And Louis de Bernieres with his novel Cordelli's Mandolin present two narratives in which the protagonists are engaged in warfare, but are basically opposed to war. In exploring how these two men reconcile their beliefs with their activities, as well as how they maintain their connection to life, these authors each makes a profound statement concerning how humanity can exist within the framework of war. No additional sources cited.
