"Aseet pois!" by Bertha von Suttner is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds around the life of Martha Althaus, a young woman reflecting on her past dreams, the ideals of heroism she admired, and the societal expectations placed upon her as a woman in a war-driven society. The book delves into the theme of war, exploring the impact of militarism on personal lives, particularly focusing on Martha’s struggles between the glorification of war and the realities of loss and suffering it brings. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Martha Althaus, shares recollections of her youth, revealing her romanticized views of heroes and the admiration she felt for historical warrior figures. Growing up in a militaristic household, influenced by her father, a general, Martha grapples with the idea that true greatness and honor can only be achieved through heroic acts in battle. However, as discussions of impending war arise, especially concerning her husband Arno’s potential involvement in combat, Martha's naive romanticism begins to clash with her growing awareness of the devastating consequences of war. Her internal conflict highlights her yearning for a significant life while also yearning for peace and the safety of her loved ones. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
