Project Gutenberg 2008-05-27 Public domain in the USA. 126 Chambers, Robert W. (Robert William) 1865 1933 Chambers, Robert William Barbarians Reading ease score: 82.3 (6th grade). Easy to read. "Barbarians" by Robert W. Chambers is a novel written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, delving into the lives of a diverse group of characters who are disillusioned by the political climate and the brutality of war. The narrative likely follows several protagonists, including disenchanted soldiers and individuals from different walks of life as they seek redemption or purpose amid the chaos of conflict. The opening of "Barbarians" introduces readers to a group of men who have become restless and frustrated with the ongoing war and the inaction of those in power. They are compelled to depart from America in search of something they feel is lacking in their lives—perhaps a sense of duty or personal salvation. As they board a mule transport ship, distinct characters emerge, such as Carfax, a soldier of fortune; Harry Stent, an affluent adventurer; and Jacques Wayland, a writer injured in the war. Together, they embark on a journey that promises both inner conflict and the harsh realities of fate intertwined with the great historical events surrounding them. The narrative sets a poignant, contemplative tone that suggests deeper existential themes and explores the implications of war on the human spirit.
