"Nineteen Nineteen" is a novel by John Dos Passos that follows the lives of two young men, Pete and Ward, as they navigate the aftermath of World War I. The story is set in the year 1919, a time of great social and political upheaval. Pete is a disillusioned soldier who struggles to find his place in a society that seems to have forgotten about the sacrifices made by those who fought in the war. Ward, on the other hand, is a wealthy young man who is more concerned with his own personal pursuits than with the larger issues facing the world. As their paths cross, they both come to realize the impact that the war has had on their lives and the lives of those around them. Through their experiences, Dos Passos explores themes of loss, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a world that has been forever changed by war."
