Life in the Tomb

"Life in the Tomb" has moments of great literary beauty and of more than one kind of literary power. In 1917, Myrivilis was twenty-five. ?Before I entered the trenches I had not the slightest inkling of life?s true worth. From now on, however, I shall savour its moments one by one...? This... truthful fiction... [makes] one see... It is antiheroic and completely convincing. - Peter Levi[Peter Bien] has turned a Greek masterpiece into something not much less than an English one.- C.M. Woodhouse, "Times Literary supplement"
