Description

Civilisation 1914-1918

With the exception of, perhaps, Le Feu by Henri Barbusse, no book made such a stir in the France of 1914-1918 as Georges Duhamels[1] Civilisation. Its success was as immediate as its appeal was universal. Like Le Feu, it was awarded the Prix Goncourt, and ran to an enormous circulation. There is no doubt, too, that posterity will acclaim it as a remarkable work. For it is something more than a human document of the war. One feels in the poignant experiences of the few French soldiers, depicted by M. Duhamel, the tragic fate of twentieth-century manthe Machine Age manin the grip of the scientific monster he has created for himself. These intimate [Pg 2]pictures have the cumulative effect of an epic in which the experiment of humanity is menaced by mans own inventiveness and heroism. This impression is the creation of the particular style of M. Duhamel. It is not by the vigorous simplicity of a Guy de Maupassant that he achieves his effects, nor by the exact observation which one might expect of him as a doctor of medicine. His strength lies in the violent imagery with which he intensifies his descriptions, giving the impression of life and feeling to inanimate objects. He thus often produces the effect of a monstrous dream or nightmare. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
