From Here to Eternity
James Jones
James Jones’ epic drama of army life in the calm before Pearl Harbor comes to Penguin Modern Classics - now with previously censored scenes restored
Diamond Head, Hawaii, 1941. Pvt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt is a career soldier and a champion welterweight. But when he refuses to join the company’s boxing team for reasons he will not explain, he is subjected to brutal hazing by his fellow soldiers. First Sgt. Milton Anthony Warden knows how to soldier better than almost anyone, yet he’s risking his career to have an affair with the commanding officer’s wife. Both Warden and Prewitt are bound by a common bond- the Army. In this magnificent but brutal classic of a soldier’s life, James Jones portrays the courage, violence and passions of men and women who live by unspoken codes and with unutterable despair. One of the most important American novels to come out of World War II, From Here to Eternity is a masterpiece that captures as no other the honor and savagery of men.
