Summary:

"Blaise Cendrars takes us into the crucible of his waking dreams, when he set out to swallow the world whole and then recreate it in his own image. During the course of his personal investigations at a vital juncture of the evolution of art, Cendrars was constantly on the prowl, and analyzing the works of the cronies he frequented daily: Modigliani, Picasso, Fernand Ľger, Chagall. For Cendrars, there is not even truth, there is only action, and this volume bears testimony to the visceral impulses of this yet-to-be known monster of the world of letters, art, media and adventure who in his own words, dipped his pen into the inkwell of life."-- Provided by publisher.
