About This Book

Récit de souvenirs et d’images glanés au fil de la guerre, mêlant descriptions de lieux tels que l’Hartmannswillerkopf, la cathédrale de Reims, Verdun, le Chemin des Dames et Bruges, et réflexions personnelles sur l’épreuve combattante. L’auteur précise qu’il ne revendique pas l’écriture d’une Histoire mais la fixation d’instants pittoresques, poignants ou banals qui composent la mémoire des combats. Il soutient que la guerre a surtout fait remonter des traits et des habitudes préexistants plutôt que de créer de nouveaux caractères. Textes et eaux-fortes se conjuguent pour rendre les paysages, les ruines, la vie aux avant-postes et le lent retour à une sérénité retrouvée.
