Comment dire la guerre? Le regard d’une génération infortunée
How to Say WAR. The View of an Unlucky Generation

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the great theme of history, which is the First World War, as described by several French authors in their writings published in the first part of the XXth century: Maurice Génevoix, Georges Duhamel, A. Gide, Paul Valéry. War is a paradox and especially World War I does not look like any other war in the history of mankind. The whole continent was “wounded” after the battles the authors speak about and this is why Europe is full of war cemeteries.
