The Enormous Room

The Enormous Room is a semi-autobiographical novel by E. E. Cummings, published in 1922. The book is based on Cummings' own experiences as a volunteer ambulance driver during World War I. The story follows the narrator, who is arrested by French authorities for suspected espionage and is thrown into a prison called ""The Enormous Room."" The book chronicles the narrator's experiences in the prison, including his interactions with the other prisoners, his attempts to communicate with the outside world, and his eventual release. The Enormous Room is a powerful and poignant work that explores themes of freedom, individuality, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. Cummings' unique writing style, which includes experimental typography and syntax, adds to the book's impact and makes it a must-read for fans of modernist literature.At any rate I passed a few remarks calculated to wither the by this time a little nervous �����bermensch; got up, put on some enormous sabots (which I had purchased from a horrid little boy whom the French Government had arrested with his parent, for some cause unknown--which horrid little boy told me that he had 'found' the sabots 'in a train' on the way to La Fert�����) shook myself into my fur coat, and banged as noisemakingly as I knew how over to One-Eyed Dahveed's paillasse, where Mexique joined us. 'It is useless to sleep, ' said One-Eyed Dah-veed in French and Spanish. 'True, ' I agreed, 'therefore let's make all the noise we can.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
