Wooden Crosses
by Roland Dorgelès, JD Morvan and Facundo Percio
Description
In 1919, Albin Michel publishes Les Croix de bois, a novel written by Roland Dorgelès which forever revolutionized the war novel genre. Inspired by the author’s time as a soldier in the trenches of WWI, the book is immediately met with wide acclaim from critics and surviving soldiers alike. It is awarded the Prix Femina and narrowly misses the Prix Goncourt to Marcel Proust. Terrible, appalling, unforgiving but also light and funny at times, the novel tells of the harsh reality of what can only be described as hell on earth. JD Morvan and Facundo Percio deliver a brilliant adaptation of this masterpiece by connecting the fictional novel written by Roland Dorgelès and events of his own life, thus demonstrating the thin line between truth and fiction.
