Description

Apostol Bologa struggles with his conscience in the First World War. He must fight for a foreign power against his own people. The Austro-Hungarian Empire falls apart. He starts to question his ties to his nation. From the first scenes, he faces the threat of hanging.

Liviu Rebreanu’s novel shows how war shapes one man’s thoughts. It suits readers drawn to war fiction and moral strife. Rebreanu drew on the death of his brother Emil. Emil served as an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army. He tried to cross to the Romanian lines. They caught him and hanged him. Yet Bologa is not a portrait of Emil. Through Bologa, Rebreanu sought to probe the doubts of his generation.
