Bol
The Pentecost of Calamity by Owen Wister is a poignant essay reflecting on the outbreak of World War I and its profound impact on Western civilization. Written during the early years of the war, the work examines the social, cultural, and moral consequences of the conflict, particularly focusing on Germany's role and its deviation from what Wister saw as its previous cultural ideals. The title suggests a transformative, almost religious reckoning brought about by the war.Wister critiques militarism and the betrayal of humanitarian principles, lamenting the loss of innocence and the rupture of the shared cultural bonds that once united Europe. He draws on historical, philosophical, and personal reflections to illustrate how the war reshaped national identities and challenged the ideals of democracy, peace, and progress.
