Slaughterhouse Five, or the Children's Crusade

(Dance with death on duty)

American German descent(fourth generation), who now lives in excellent conditions at Cape Cod (and smokes too much), for a long time he was an American infantryman (non-combatant service) and, having been captured, witnessed the bombing of the German city of Dresden ("Florence on the Elbe") and can talk about it, because he survived. This novel is partly written in a slightly telegraphic-schizophrenic style, as they say on the planet Tralfamador, from where flying saucers appear. World.

Dedicated to Mary O'Hare and Gerhard Müller

Bulls roar.
The calf is mooing.
Awake the Christ Child
But he is silent.

Almost all of this actually happened. In any case, almost everything about the war is true. One of my acquaintances was indeed shot in Dresden for taking someone else's teapot. Another acquaintance actually threatened that he would kill all his personal enemies after the war with the help of hired killers. And so on. I changed all the names.

I actually went to Dresden for a Guggenheim Fellowship (God bless them) in 1967. The city was very much like Dayton, Ohio, only more squares and squares than Danton. Probably, there, in the ground, there are tons of human bones crushed into dust.

I went there with an old fellow soldier, Bernard W. O'Hare, and we became friends with a taxi driver who took us to Slaughterhouse Five, where we prisoners of war were locked up for the night. The taxi driver's name was Gerhard Müller. He told us that he was a prisoner of the Americans. We asked him how life was under the communists, and he said that at first it was bad, because everyone had to work terribly hard and there was not enough food, clothing, or housing. And now it's much better. He has a cozy apartment, his daughter studies, gets an excellent education. His mother burned to death during the bombing of Dresden. So it goes.

He sent O'Hare a Christmas card, and it read: "Wishing you and your family and your friend a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope we meet again in peace and free world, in my taxi, if the occasion pleases."

I really like the phrase "if the case wants."

Terribly reluctant to tell you what this damn little book cost me - how much money, time, worries. When I returned home after the Second World War, twenty-three years ago, I thought it would be very easy for me to write about the destruction of Dresden, because I only had to tell everything I saw. And I also thought that a highly artistic work would come out, or at least it would give me a lot of money, because the topic is so important.

But I just couldn't think of the right words about Dresden, in any case, they were not enough for a whole book. Yes, the words do not come even now, when I have become an old fart, with familiar memories, with familiar cigarettes and grown-up sons.

And I think how useless all my memories of Dresden are, and yet how seductive it was to write about Dresden. And the old naughty song is spinning in my head:

Some academic assistant
Angry at your instrument:
"He ruined my health,
Capital squandered
But you don’t want to work, impudent!”

And I remember another song:

My name is Ion Johnsen
My home is Wisconsin
In the forest I work here.
Whom I meet;
I answer everyone
Who will ask:
"What is your name?"
My name is Ion Johnsen
My home is Wisconsin...

All these years, acquaintances often asked me what I was working on, and I usually answered that my main work was a book about Dresden.

So I answered Garrison Starr, the film director, and he raised his eyebrows and asked:

Is the book anti-war?

“Yes,” I said, “it looks like it.

“Do you know what I say to people when I hear that they write anti-war books?

- Don't know. What are you telling them, Harrison Star?

“I tell them: why don’t you write an anti-glacial book instead?

Of course, he meant to say that there will always be warriors and that stopping them is as easy as stopping glaciers. I think so too.


And even if the wars were not even approaching us like glaciers, there would still be an ordinary old woman-death.


When I was younger and working on my notorious Dresden book, I asked an old fellow soldier of mine, Bernard W. O'Hare, if I could come to him. He was the district attorney in Pennsylvania. I was a writer at Cape Cod. In the war, we were ordinary scouts in the infantry. We never hoped for good earnings after the war, but both settled down pretty well.

I instructed the Central Telephone Company to find him. They are great at it. Sometimes at night I have these seizures, with alcohol and phone calls. I get drunk and my wife goes to another room because I smell mustard gas and roses. And I, very seriously and elegantly, make a phone call and ask the telephone operator to connect me with one of my friends whom I have long lost sight of.

So I found O'Hare. He is short and I am tall. In the war we were called Pat and Patachon. We were taken prisoner together. I told him on the phone who I was. He immediately believed. He didn't sleep. He read. Everyone else in the house was asleep.

“Listen,” I said. I am writing a book about Dresden. Could you help me remember something. Is it possible for me to come to you, to see you, we would have a drink, talk, remember the past.

He showed no enthusiasm. He said that he remembers very little. But still he said: come.

“You know, I think the denouement of the book should be the shooting of that unfortunate Edgar Darby,” I said. “Think of the irony. whole city burning, thousands of people die. And then this same American soldier is arrested among the ruins by the Germans for taking a teapot. And they are judged by the whole handicap and shot.

“Hmmm,” said O'Hare.

“Do you agree that this should be the denouement?”

“I don’t understand anything about this,” he said, “this is your specialty, not mine.”


As a specialist in denouements, plots, characterizations, marvelous dialogues, tense scenes and confrontations, I have sketched out the outline of a book about Dresden many times. best plan, or at least the prettiest plan I've sketched on a piece of wallpaper.

I took colored pencils from my daughter and gave each character a different color. At one end of the piece of wallpaper was the beginning, at the other end, and in the middle was the middle of the book. The red line met the blue one, and then the yellow one, and the yellow line ended because the hero represented by the yellow line was dying. And so on. The destruction of Dresden was depicted as a vertical column of orange crosses, and all the lines that remained alive passed through this binding and exited from the other end.

The end where all the lines ended was in a beet field on the Elbe, outside the city of Halle. Lil rain. The war in Europe ended a few weeks ago. We were lined up and Russian soldiers guarded us: English, Americans, Dutch, Belgians, French, New Zealanders, Australians - thousands of former prisoners of war.

And at the other end of the field, there were thousands of Russians, and Poles, and Yugoslavs, and so forth, and they were guarded by American soldiers. And there, in the rain, there was an exchange - one for one. O'Hare and I climbed into an American truck with other soldiers. O'Hare had no souvenirs. And almost everyone else had. I had - and still have - a parade saber of a German pilot. The desperate American, whom I called in this book Paul Lazzaro, was carrying about a quart of diamonds, emeralds, rubies and all that. He took them off the dead in the cellars of Dresden. So it goes.

An English fool who had lost all his teeth somewhere was carrying his memento in a canvas bag. The bag was on my feet. The Englishman now and then looked into the bag, and rolled his eyes, and twisted his neck, trying to attract the greedy glances of those around him. And all the time he hit me with a sack on my legs.

I thought it was by accident. But I was wrong. He wanted so badly to show someone what he had in the bag, and he decided to trust me. He caught my eye, winked and opened the bag. There was a plaster model of the Eiffel Tower. She was all gilded. It had a watch on it.

Did you see beauty? - he said.


And we were sent on planes to summer camp in France, where they fed us chocolate milkshakes and all sorts of delicacies until we were covered in young fat. Then we were sent home, and I married a pretty girl, also covered in young fat.

And we got the guys.

And now they've all grown up, and I'm an old fart with familiar memories, familiar cigarettes. My name is Ion Johnsen, my home is Wisconsin. I work in the forest here.

Sometimes, late at night, when my wife has gone to bed, I try to call my old friends on the phone.

To all those who are familiar with the work of the American Kurt Vonnegut, who knows how to subtly and accurately emphasize the senselessness and stupidity of the actions of many very famous people global scale, knows that the writer and satirist creates novels of rather ambiguous artistic genre. This is exactly what his book “Slaughterhouse Five” is, which tells about the terrible military events witnessed by Kurt Vonnegut himself. And it is always interesting to read something that was created not by hearsay, but recorded “firsthand”. Why? Due to the fact that on the pages of such works there will be no fictitious phrases and events, plots and heroes. Here, in the vastness of the book, only real reality, without false falsehood and unnecessary pathos.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote his book, Slaughterhouse Five, for a very long time, because he still could not gather his thoughts in order to correctly, accurately and at the same time competently convey his impression of what happened in the war.

During World War II, the writer served in the US armed forces, but in 1944 he was captured and experienced the hardships of prisoners of war. In 1945, Dresden, a German city, was bombed, and it was here that Vonnegut was held captive during this period. Many people died as a result of the operation. civilians, most of the residential and architectural structures. However American writer I am sure that the bombing of the city was absolutely pointless, did not carry any strategic significance, since it did not give anything except for the destruction of innocent inhabitants. Impressed by these events, Kurt Vonnegut wrote his famous novel. He consulted with his friends in the camp for a long time before starting work. What did he get? You be the judge. But the fact that the book is filled with living images and incidents is indisputable. All this adds to the work, which was banned many times for reading in America, truthfulness, frankness, honesty.

If you appreciate the writer's work or want to get acquainted with his works, start reading the book Slaughterhouse Five. Why does the novel have such a strange title? Due to the fact that when Kurt Vonnegut was a prisoner of war, after his work, and prisoners of war like him, they were closed at night in a non-working slaughterhouse number 5. It was in this dilapidated old building that Kurt survived the terrible bombing of a German city, and after he, and the few who managed to survive, got out from under the rubble and pulled out the corpses of people. That is why the writer's book was called "Slaughterhouse Number Five".

Title: Slaughterhouse Five, or the Children's Crusade

About Slaughterhouse Five, or the Children's Crusade by Kurt Vonnegut

To better understand main idea Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse Five, or the Children's Crusade", it is worth mentioning that the author himself became one of the few who survived the bombing of Dresden. He saw with his own eyes the horror of such a social (or anti-social?) phenomenon as war. Actually, the book itself is dedicated to the absurdity of war, the senseless loss of millions of innocent lives...

Kurt Vonnegut's novel is on the list of works that everyone should read.

Kurt Vonnegut in his book talks about Billy Pilgrim, who takes part in the war. In the life of this hero, a fairly large part of the memories of the author himself, and some details of his biography, Billy clearly “borrowed” from Kurt. For example, they have the same year of birth, they are both Americans, both in the war in Europe.

Many readers are put off by the absurdity, fantasy and surrealism of Kurt Vonnegut's work. With the help of such techniques, exactly what the author wanted to convey is achieved: war is the worst, and at the same time real, absurdity invented by mankind in the entire history of its existence. Living to kill - isn't that an oxymoron?

The title of the book is quite long, and the second part of it, as you have already noticed, sounds like "The Children's Crusade". You don't have to be a serious historian to know the origin of the name. Yes, such a terrible event, as a result of which children were enslaved, really took place. But why did Vonnegut choose this name? The answer is more than simple: before the war, they usually promise future happiness, victory over an abstract enemy, and as a result, children suffer the most. Those who went to war, and those who were left without parents. It was the same way hundreds of years ago, for example, during the same Crusade. History is constantly repeating itself, but humanity has not grown wiser ... And it is unlikely that this will ever happen.

Billy Pilgrim travels back in time from which he "disconnected". Yes, and he himself is a little crazy: during the war, Billy gets mentally traumatized. Then, having recovered, he flies in an airplane to the congress, but the flight is unsuccessful, and only Pilgrim remains alive. This time, the nervous shock was much more serious: main character talks about how he visited the planet Tralfamador. In the fantastic (or not?) world depicted by Kurt Vonnegut, the end can always be justified by the means, and all living beings are just machines.

How many of these cars are killed is just a statistic, accompanied by the phrase "That's the way it is." And it doesn't matter who died - a woman, an old man, a child or a dog - just one more figure will be added ... Such things.

Verdict: The book is not easy, sometimes quite confusing, but definitely worth reading.

This is probably the most notable work Vonnegut, which absorbed all the very best from other works of the author and at the same time is so unlike his other creations. The unique style of Vonnegut, his humor and drama are fully expressed in the story. Vonnegut's heroes are funny and ridiculous, but at the same time paradoxically poignantly tragic.

Description: London. Respectable house in a prestigious area. And a "bad" apartment, into which for half a century no one has entered and from which no one has left.

The young American April, who unexpectedly inherited an apartment from her grandmother, whose death is no less mysterious, should not have crossed the fatal threshold.
