When Guillaume Apollinaire was sent to the trenches during World
War I, he had already published his groundbreaking book of poems,
Alcools, inspiring artists of the budding Surrealist movement and
making a foundational mark on twentieth-century literature. The
letters he sent to his fiancee Madeleine Pages while fighting on
the front in Champagne offer an unprecedented look into the life
and mind of this literary great. Ranging from memories of his
childhood in Rome with his mother (a Polish noblewoman) to his
reflections on literary giants like Racine and Tolstoy, the letters
also chronicle his daily life as a soldier in the brutal Great War.
Letters to Madeleine is a moving portrait of a poet facing one of
humanity's starkest realities, and it will be of interest not only
to fans of Apollinaire but to those interested in personal accounts
of the First World War as well.
