The novel of the French writer, journalist Henri Barbus “Fire” began in the hospital in December 1915 – Barbus in 1914 went to the front of the First World War as an ordinary -fobilger, and was written on the basis of reporting records, literally from trenches. A terrible, gloomy book is a merciless and naturalistic truth about extermination and destruction, about grinding lives – the eyes of an eyewitness.
The collection also included the chosen novels of the writer about the war.
“War is not an attack, similar to a parade, not a battle with fluttering banners, not even hand -to -hand combat in which they are frantic and shout; war is a monstrous, supernatural fatigue, water, and dirt, and vice, and abominations. These are moldy faces that are isolated into cups of the bodies and corpses that pop up over a burdensome ground and not even similar More on the corpses. A. Barbus
