Local library has L´Enfer and Le Feu, are those good?

>all these fucking casuals

THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER

L'Enfer doesn't have anything to do with war, although it is a good book in my opinion. Le Feu is good but tendentious.

Storm of Steel is one of the best books I've ever read, totally recommend it.

Are you sure that you talk about the same war?

Le Feu (Under Fire in English) was written in 1916 while Barbusse was convalescing after his third trip forward. L'enfer was written some years before the war. Le Feu is very good, solid, realistic.

Junger mentioned alot here, but his more mature novels are better. White Cliffs and Glass Bees in particular.

read Storm of Steel

Against the Day, but not for usual reasons.

Le Feu is solid, a classic, much admired by Céline who was very discriminating.

Speaking of which, Céline's Journey to the End of the Night begins with a masterful narration of WW1 action.

the greatest piece of ww1 literature I have read is In Parenthesis by David Jones

>T. S. Eliot called it "a work of genius." W. H. Auden considered it "a masterpiece," "the greatest book about the First World War" that he had read, a work in which Jones did "for the British and the Germans what Homer did for the Greeks and the Trojans" in "a masterpiece" comparable in quality to The Divine Comedy

I read Birdsong in school. Never could quite decide if I actually liked it, though.
