À propos de ce livre

Contemporaneously described as "the war to end all wars", World War I was one of the largest wars in history and also one of the deadliest conflicts in history. Writers often function as the memory of the world, eternalizing in words difficult moments that we can not forget. The critic August Nemo selected seven short stories that allow us to look at the various faces of the war:

- Mary Postgate by Rudyard Kipling

- The Fly by Katherine Mansfield

- May Day by F. Scott Fitzgerald

- Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft

- The Bowmen by Arthur Machen

- His Last Bow by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

- At the Bay by Katherine Mansfield
