The Drama Of Three Hundred & Sixty-Five Days: Scenes In The Great War

Framed as the opening act of a colossal drama, this work treats the first year of the Great War as a series of vivid tableaux where history meets philosophy. The author asks listeners to consider an “invisible conflict” of forces beyond human control, suggesting that the clash between good and evil shapes the fate of nations while still leaving room for individual will. The tone is reflective yet immediate, inviting you to glimpse the bewildering mix of heroism, brutality, sincerity and hypocrisy that defined those early months.

Through a mosaic of scenes—political overtures in Berlin, the uneasy optimism of royal visits, sudden flashes of battlefield reality, and the raw emotions of ordinary soldiers—the narrative delivers a palpable sense of the era’s uncertainty. Listeners will hear the clash of ideals and the ordinary lives caught in the storm, gaining a layered perspective on how a world once thought stable was thrust into a bewildering, almost theatrical, upheaval.
