«La guerre des pauvres» is a historical narrative by Éric Vuillard, published by Actes Sud in paperback (68 pages, in French).
The work focuses on the German Peasants' War (1524-1525) and on Thomas Müntzer, a theologian who joined the revolt of the poor of southern Germany against the feudal order and the new Protestant authorities. With concise prose, Éric Vuillard narrates an insurrection marked by inequality, injustice and the promise of earthly equality.
