Meredith Based on the author’s experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington’s first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington’s writing about Britian’s ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward the its astounding finish. n First time in Penguin Classics n July 2014 marks the centennial of the start of World War I n Features an introduction by war literature scholar James H. Meredith RiChARd Aldington (1892–1962) was known as a translator, critic, and poet of distinction. He joined the British Army in 1916 and was wounded in 1918. JAMes h. MeRedith, a retired United States Air Force lieutenant colonel, is the introducer of the Penguin Classics editions of Paths of Glory by Humphrey Cobb and Bombs Away by John Steinbeck.

They promoted ideals such as self-sufficiency, freedom, detachment, shamelessness, and toughness, and their philosophy penetrated not only Greek but also Roman civilization. This unique anthology draws together the writings on and by various Cynic philosophers, from founding figures Antisthenes and Diogenes of Sinope to Hipparchia, one of the few female philosophers in antiquity, and fourth-century Roman emperor Julian “the apostate.” n Exclusive to Penguin Classics n Includes writings by Antisthenes, Diogenes, Emperor Julian, and Hipparchia RoBeRt doBBin received a Ph.D. in classics from the University of California at Berkeley and taught history and classics at the college level.
