About This Item
Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse V
"Slaughterhouse-Five," by Kurt Vonnegut, published in 1969, is a landmark American novel that merges science fiction with anti-war themes. It narrates the story of Billy Pilgrim, a World War II veteran who experiences his life non-linearly, including his time as a POW during the Dresden firebombing. The novel's innovative narrative, dark humor, and exploration of fatalism and human existence garnered critical acclaim, making it a commercial success. Its profound anti-war message and commentary on the human condition have cemented its place in literary history, influencing generations of writers and artists, and remaining a pivotal work in discussions on war, memory, and time.
