false 116114 16 This is a long, satisfying, commanding novel of the soldiers who were poised on the brink of real manhood when World War II flung them unceremoniously into that abyss. Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt is the nonconformist hero who refuses to box at Schofield Barracks and is slowly destroyed by his own rebelliousness. Around him, others are fighing their own small battles--and losing. It's worth noting that Jones' 1951 audience was shocked by his frank language and the sexual preoccupations of his characters. 2504920 1951 From Here to Eternity total:360|5:158|4:126|3:58|2:15|1:3| 360 1501 725 46 1 1 true true Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Mar 24 08:00:08 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 08:05:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue May 12 19:23:30 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 19:30:41 -0700 2009
