«La Peur» is Gabriel Chevallier's war novel, published by Le Livre de Poche as a paperback, in French.
Gabriel Chevallier recognizes himself in the soldier Jean Dartemont to narrate World War I as experienced at twenty: the assaults, the shells, the trenches, the filth and the lice, and a fear that unnerves more than death. He denounces war propaganda and the gulf between the commanders and the front, in a plea against war.
The novel was originally published in 1930 and censored nine years later; this edition dates from 2010.
A classic of twentieth-century French literature, for readers interested in World War I and in antiwar testimonies.
Gabriel Chevallier was a French novelist widely known as the author of the satire Clochemerle. He is also known for Fear, a novel about the World War I.
