A Soldier In Retreat - Gilles Lapouge

Description: Loneliness in common "The last light faded. She had dissolved not into darkness but for a brief moment into emptiness. A soft and fragile night came to fill the vast abyss where banks of blue mists floated halfway up the hills. From time to time, a cannon shot rang out but it was no longer part of the battle, it seemed as if the shell had gotten stuck in the breech, either poor quality of the powder, or that the delicate organs of the bomb was rusty, and that a slightly bewildered soldier had shaken the machine to set it alight - unless the shot had been fired long before, during another war, why not, that the noise has been unduly delayed. We saw large white, vaporous balls rising in the darkened valley, which rose straight up with the grace of hot air balloons. In the plain, a few fires were lit in the shelter of the stables and farms. They had finished their day. They returned home to have a bite to eat, and to prepare their tools, to overhaul their scopes and their Winchesters which had worked so ardently all day." In this strange theater of operations, two soldiers tirelessly search for their lost unit. Quite a symbol... The war that swept them away like two straws is itself like a shapeless fog, without beginning or end. What war is this about anyway? The temporal markers also seem to have been completely erased... Reissue of a rarity by Gilles Lapouge, with a preface by Christophe Mercier.Pages: 211Editions: Du RocherFast and careful shipping.Group your purchases to benefit from reductions on shipping costs."The last light faded.
