Produktinformationen zu „Fear “
First published in 1930, FEAR graphically describes the terrible experiences of soldiers during WWI. It tells the story of Jean Dartemont, a young man called up in 1915. He is not a rebel, but neither is he awed by hierarchical authority. After an exceedingly short training period, he refuses to follow his platoon and is sent to Artois in the trenches. With absolute realism, Gabriel Chevallier depicts what he experienced every day, for months: violence, blood, death, bodies ... A rediscovered masterpiece from the author of Clochemerle, published for the first time in English.

Rezension zu „Fear “
"'The most beautiful book ever written on the tragic events that blood-stained Europe for nearly five years... a classic' - Le Libertaire 'All the horrors of war are there, but atrocity alone would not be enough to explain the grandeur of this text. It is the healthy defiance and controlled anger which earned the book its stripes' - Le Figaro"
