CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT "I GIOVANI DEL '99 RACCONTANO LA GRANDE GUERRA"

Gli allievi hanno scelto di approfondire lo sguardo inglese sul primo conflitto mondiale nella primavera del 1917 facendo riferimento a Rudyard Kipling che visita il fronte italiano come corrispondente di guerra. Sulle vette delle Alpi Giulie e delle Alpi Carniche entra in contatto con gli Alpini e scrive le sue "impressioni", raccolte nel libroThe War in the Mountains. Notes on Kipling's visit to the Italian battlefront in 1917, during the Great War and the articles he wrote, molto diffuso in Gran Bretagna ma poco conosciuto in Italia.
