Reseña del editor:
Claude Wheeler, the sensitive, aspiring protagonist of this beautifully-written Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, resembles the youngest son of a peculiarly American fairy tale. His fortune is ready-made for him, but he refuses to settle for it. Alienated from his parents, all but rejected by his wife, and dissatisfied with farming, Claude is an idealist without an ideal to cling to. It's only when America enters the First World War that Claude finds the purpose he has searched for.
One of Ours is divided into two parts: the first half is set in Nebraska where Claude struggles to find his life's purpose; the second part, during World War I where he ironically fulfills his romantic idealism on the brutal battlefields of 1918 France. It is the story of a young man born after the American frontier has vanished, yet whose quintessentially American restlessness seeks redemption on a frontier far bloodier.
He was a very large man- taller and broader than any of his neighbours. He seldom wore a coat in summer- and his rumpled shirt bulged out carelessly over the belt of his trousers.' (Excerpt from Chapter 1)
