Summary:

In the trenches of the Great War, Sergeant Philippe Moreau draws the horrors he can not say. Its leader, second lieutenant Guillaume de Kostrowitzky, writes articles, letters and poems that he signs with the name of Guillaume Apollinaire. The war, like a tragic muse, fascinates the author of Alcools . For Philippe Moreau, a young peasant of Champagne, war is an abomination who has destroyed his village forever. Injured on the same day in March 1916, the two soldiers were evacuated in the rear and lost sight of each other. Philippe Moreau will do everything to find his lieutenant. A quest that leads him to Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Montparnasse, where he meets Cendrars, Picasso, Cocteau, Modigliani, Braque ... Guillaume Apollinaire died just a hundred years ago. Through the tender and critical look of a sacrifice of the Great War, Xavier-Marie Bonnot powerfully tells the last years of the life of the author of the Pont Mirabeau--Page 4 of cover.
