Maurice Genevoix (1890 - 1980) was a French author and WW1 veteran who is best known for his book, Ceux de 14.On the 25 April 1915 he was severely wounded in action in his left arm and side in the Tranchée de Calonne sector and returned to Paris. The battle in the Meuse in which he participated, especially those at Les Éparges left a profound influence on him, and he wrote the tetralogy Ceux de 14 (The Men of 1914), which brought him recognition among the public. He was a remarkable observer of nature and of animals. IN this book, he certainly brings the cat Rrou to life. (2.4 JM HOQ 103/b1 . 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Acceptable.
