註釋"The work of Timrava, the pen name of Bozena Slancikova (1867- 1951), gives us a peek at Slovak literature and Slovak life of the early century; mostly it's for the latter--the small human portraiture of individual lives swamped by great events--that we read on. The greatest of these events was, naturally, WW I, which Timrava addresses in the novella ``Great War Heroes, '' a vinegary tale of nationalist enthusiasm--Slovakia against the Russians and Serbs, all three nationalities benighted and manipulated--and of how the self-inflation soon flattens as war's real costs quickly come due.-"-Kirkus Reviews
