"A nagy háború anekdotakincse" by Endre Nagy is a collection of anecdotes written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The work captures the humor and human experience of war, exploring the absurdities and challenges faced by soldiers and civilians alike during this tumultuous period. The anecdotes reflect various characters, from soldiers to civilians, highlighting their resilience, camaraderie, and the surreal elements of life during wartime. The opening of this collection introduces themes of humor amid the harsh realities of war. It begins with a preface that contemplates the presence of humor in the midst of suffering and death, establishing a tone that combines reflection with wit. The narrator presents various scenes of life as soldiers prepare for war, emphasizing the complex emotions of those involved, including moments of intimacy and shared experiences, from conversations on public transport to preparations for enlistment. The anecdotes vary in perspective, from the jovial spirit of soldiers and their loved ones to the ironic commentary on the absurdity of circumstances they find themselves in, effectively setting the stage for the rest of the collection.
