Author Description

Prispevki v knjigi sledijo usodam sodobnikov prve svetovne vojne, njihovim različnim percepcijam in recepcijam svetovnega vojaškega spopada ter refleksijam nanj. Kar se da pester nabor sodobnikov iz različnih socialnih in izobrazbenih slojev zagotavlja širok spekter pogleda na vojno, kar je redkost v znanstveni obravnavi prve svetovne vojne. Četudi znanstvena monografija ne želi obravnavati oseb po njihovi izjemnosti za slovensko družbeno stvarnost, saj je ravno vojna čas, ki na skrajno brutalen način izenači življenja ljudi in jim odvzame možnost odločanja o sebi, so se nekateri med obravnavanimi znašli v epicentru političnega dogajanja, ki je izgrajevalo povojno podobo Evrope in slovenskega prostora v njej. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The book includes contributions from contemporaries of the First World War, follows their experience and adoption of global military conflict and reflecting on it. A wide range of contemporaries from different social and educational levels provides a wide range of views on the war, which is a rarity in a scientific reading of the The Great War. Although scientific monograph does not want to selectively deal with people based on their uniqueness to the Slovenian social reality, since the war is precisely the time that brutally equalizes peoples' lives and deprives them of the possibility of making decisions, some of the discussed found themselves in the epicenter of the political events which built image of post-war Europe and the Slovenian space in it.
