Summary
Each of us, afterwards, has an intimate relationship with the Great War made up of family memories, stories, readings, and imaginary reconstructions. How has this global explosion affected individual destinies and family histories? What look at the Armistice of 1918? How does it resonate in consciousness, even today? What stories did the deposit of arms leave behind? Does the Armistice announce peace, or just the beginning of the inter-war period? So many questions that inspired very personal texts brought together by Jean-Marie Laclavetine. Fiction, story, song, speech, essay, letter ... Thirty writers tell what the Armistice of 1918 evokes for them. The book is illustrated with engravings and prints borrowed notably from Fernand Léger, Félix Vallotton, Otto Dix, and Frans Masereel ... --Gallimard.
