In 1912 the young Frederic-Louis Sauser arrived in France, carrying
an experimental poem and a new identity: Blaise Cendrars was born.
Over the next half-century, Cendrars wrote innovative poems,
novels, essays, film scripts and autobiographical prose. His
ground-breaking books and collaborations with artists such as Sonia
Delaunay and Fernand Leger remain astonishingly modern today.
Cendrars's writings reflect his insatiable curiosity, his vast
knowledge which was largely self-taught, and his love of everyday
life. In this new account Eric Robertson examines Cendrars's work
against a turbulent historical background and reassesses his
contribution to twentieth-century literature. Robertson shows how
Cendrars is as relevant today as ever before, and deserves a wider
readership in the English-speaking world.
