About this audiobook
The book was first published in 19181. The main character of “The Marne” is a teenage American boy named Troy Belknap who is living in Paris. Too young to enlist for the First Battle of the Marne, he and his family return to America. However, four years later, when he is eighteen years old, he becomes a Red Cross ambulance driver and participates in the Second Battle of the Marne. The book takes the reader on a journey between Troy’s rose-colored, heroic ambitions, the grim realities of the war, and the often hollow and ugly attitudes of Americans at home.
Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist—the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921—as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York’s elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.
