Goli i mrtvi

Norman Mailer

Naked and Dead (1948), Mailer's debut novel, is a powerful war epic set on the fictional Pacific island of Anopopeia during World War II. Inspired by the author's own experiences, the novel explores the brutality of war and the power dynamics within the U

The plot follows a diverse group of soldiers in an infantry platoon under the command of General Cummings, a man obsessed with authority, and Lieutenant Hearn, an intellectual rebelling against his tyranny. Key characters, such as Sergeant Croft, a sadistic and ambitious leader, and soldiers like Valdez and Red, reveal their fears, traumas, and motivations through introspective "time machines" - flashbacks that reveal their lives before the war. The mission to conquer the island, under Japanese control, becomes a metaphor for internal and external struggles.

Mailer masterfully portrays psychological tensions, class differences, and moral dilemmas, while the naturalistic style emphasizes the brutality of war and dehumanization. The novel explores themes of power, masculinity, and the futility of conflict, as the characters face physical and emotional exhaustion. Criticisms of capitalism and military hierarchy permeate the story, making it a powerful commentary on society.

With vivid descriptions of battles, interior monologues, and raw dialogue, The Naked and the Dead remains a classic work of American literature, revered for its authenticity and profound portrayal of human nature under the pressures of war.
