About this ebook
Although "Regeneration" is an anti-war novel, it deals with several issues and concerns which were very important in England at the time of the war.
Pat Barker, the author, has quite skillfully presented the issues through highly emphatic characters in the novel. The story revolves around a few significant characters, particularly, Dr. Rivers, a psychiatrist who attends the soldiers who have suffered several kinds of mental problems during the war.
Dr. Rivers happens to be torn between his duty and sympathy. Till the very end of the novel, he is not sure whether he should cure his patients to go back to the war or he should come out openly against the war.

Chapter One: Introduction
Regeneration
by Pat Barker was first published in the year 1991. It is a prize-winning novel. It was nominated for a Booker Prize.
The New York Times Book Review described that Regeneration
is one of the four best novels of the year 1991.
Regeneration
is the first of the three novels in Regeneration Trilogy
of novels written on the First World War.
The Eye in the Door
and The Ghost Road
are the other two novels in the Regeneration Trilogy.
The Ghost Road
was the winner of the Booker Prize in the year 1995.
According to Pat Barker, she was highly inspired by her husband while writing Regeneration.
Her husband was a known neurologist who was very much familiar with the writings of Dr. W. H. R. Rivers and his experiments with nerve regeneration.
