One of the great figures of modern French literature. Swiss-born in
1887, but French to the core in spirit, Cendrars roamed the world
for many years, a restless seeker who made life an adventure and
his novels and poems the record of a never-satisfied appetite for
human experience. As a young man he reached the Orient across
Russia, and "The Transsiberian," one of his finest long poems is
included in this volume. Over the years, a number of Cendrars'
works were translated into English--early among them, in 1931, John
Dos Passos' brilliant version of "Panama, or the Adventures of My
Seven Uncles" (reprinted in this collection)--but all are now out
of print here, so that this selection from the whole range of
Cendrars is most timely. It has been prepared by Professor Walter
Albert of Brandeis University, whose long introductory essay is the
most detailed biographical and critical study of Cendrars now
available in English. While the greater part of the selection is
concentrated on Cendrars' poetry (with the French text printed en
face), there are also representative excerpts from the major novels
and other prose books, as well as several essays, including
impressions of Chagall and Picasso.
