About the book:
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is an anti-war classic that remains strikingly relevant today. Centred on Billy Pilgrim, a soldier who becomes “unstuck in time,” the novel shuffles between his harrowing experience of the firebombing of Dresden in World War II and surreal episodes on an alien planet. Blending science fiction, satire, and deep existential reflection, Vonnegut exposes the absurdity and devastation of war with haunting clarity. First published in 1969, its timeless critique of violence, fatalism, and the human cost of conflict continues to resonate in an age still marked by war and dislocation.
