Lay Down Your Arms! (novel), English title of the 1889 novel "Die Waffen Nieder!" by the Austrian pacifist activist Bertha von Suttner, who received the 1905 Nobel Peace Prize for it. "We English-speaking people, whether in England, in the Colonies, or in the United States, being ourselves in no immediate danger of seeing our homes invaded, and our cities laid under contribution by hostile armies, are apt to forget how terribly the remembrance of such calamities, and the constant threat of their recurrence, haunt the lives of our Continental brethren." - T. Holmes Austrian novelist Bertha von Suttner who was one of the first notable woman pacifists. She is credited with influencing Alfred Nobel in the establishment of the Nobel Prize for Peace, of which she was the recipient in 1905. Her major novel, Die Waffen nieder! (1889; Lay Down Your Arms!), has been compared in popularity and influence with Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. The daughter of an impoverished Austrian field marshal, she was a governess to the wealthy Suttner family from 1873. She became engaged to Baron Arthur Gundaccar von Suttner (1850-1902), an engineer and novelist, seven years her junior. The opposition of his family to this match caused her, in 1876, to answer Nobel's advertisement for a secretary-housekeeper at his Paris residence. After only a week she returned to Vienna and secretly married Suttner.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... FOURTH BOOK 1866 SO it was here again, that greatest of all conceivable miseries, and was hailed by the populace with the usual jubilant shout! The regiments marched out (would they ever return ?) with blessings and cheers, followed by the wild plaudits of the youngsters of the streets and alleys. Frederick had already been ordered to Bohemia before the declaration of war. This time I was spared the heartrending parting which followed the direct order into the field. When my father brought me the triumphant assurance, "Now it has begun," I had already been alone fourteen days, during which I had lived like the criminal in hourly expectation of sentence of death. I bowed my head and said nothing. "Be of good courage, child. The war will not last long -- day after to-morrow we may be in Berlin. Your husband returned from Schleswig-Holstein in safety, so he will probably get back from this campaign with brighter laurels than ever. Unpleasant as it may be to him, being of Prussian origin, to fight against Prussia, still he is Austrian to the core. Those Prussians! We will drive them out of the German Confederation, the arrogant windbags! They will have reason to repent when Silesia is again ours, and when the Hapsburgs --" I stretched out my hands: "Father, I implore you, let me alone." He may have suspected an outbreak of tears, and as he was an enemy of all pathetic scenes, he hastily retired. But I had no place for tears. It was as if a crushing blow had fallen upon my head. Breathing with difficulty, staring at vacancy, I sat motionless. Finally, I arose, and, going to my desk, wrote in my red journal: "The sentence of death has been passed. A hundred thousand human beings will be executed. Will Frederick be among them? And I among...

When I was requested by the Committee of the International Arbitration and Peace Association, of which I have the honour to be a Member, to undertake the translation of the novel entitled Die Wafen Nieder, I considered it my duty to consent and I have found the labour truly a delight. Baroness Suttners striking tale has had so great a success on the Continent of Europe that it seems singular that no complete translation into English should yet have appeared. An incomplete version was published some time since in the United States, without the sanction of the authoress but it gives no just idea of the work. Apart from its value as a work of fiction-great as that is the book has a transcendent interest for the Society with which I am connected from its bearing on the question of war in generaland of the present state of Europe in particular. We English speaking people, whether in England, in the Colonies, or in the United States, being ourselves in no immediate danger of seeing our homes invaded, and our cities laid under contribution by hostile armies, are apt to forget how terribly the remembrance of such calamities, and the constant threat of their recurrence, haunt the lives of our Continental brethren.
