«La main coupée» is Blaise Cendrars's autobiographical account of the Great War, a paperback in the Folio collection (447 pages, in French).
Far from a heroic vision, Blaise Cendrars reconstructs his memories of the First World War and pays tribute to fallen comrades in combat: ordinary, tragic or grotesque men. Published in 1946, the book is a memorial against oblivion and a personal reparation: its author finally speaks of his war and of the inglorious dead.
This 1975 paperback edition corresponds to ISBN-10 2070366197; the work comes from Blaise Cendrars's autobiographical series.
For readers interested in war memoirs, twentieth-century French literature and First World War testimonies.
Frédéric-Louis Sauser, better known as Blaise Cendrars, was a Swiss-born novelist and poet who became a naturalized French citizen in 1916. He was a writer of considerable influence in the European modernist movement.
