Summary

In this essay published in 1948, the author deals with the moral responsibility of the writer and the role of culture in society. She analyzes the activism of intellectuals in the political avant-garde, taking Mayakovsky as an example, and tries to free the book object from its mere commercial aspect to consider it as an intimate link between the writer and the reader. © Electra 2014

Summary

The work of Louis Aragon is replaced both in its context and in its intimate perspective, with particular emphasis on the notion of circumstance, which inscribes the anecdote in the history of a subject caught up in the movement of History. The author thus evokes his relationship with the poet whom he accompanied until his death in 1982. ©Electre 2014
