About the Book Slaughterhouse Five
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a unique blend of science fiction and historical narrative, centered around Billy Pilgrim, a World War II soldier who becomes “unstuck in time.” The novel follows Billy’s experiences as a prisoner of war in Dresden during the Allied firebombing, his post-war life, and his abduction by aliens called Tralfamadorians.
The story’s non-linear structure reflects Billy’s time-traveling, jumping between different periods of his life. Through these fragmented episodes, Vonnegut explores themes of the absurdity of war, the illusion of free will, and the impact of trauma. The novel’s famous refrain, “So it goes,” is used to underscore the inevitability of death and the continuity of life.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
