About this listen

La main coupée est un monument aux morts de la Grande Guerre, comme ceux sur lesquels on a inscrit, année par année, les noms des disparus, morts identifiés mais morts obscurs, sans gloire. Blaise Cendrars a prélevé dans sa mémoire les bribes de la vie et de la mort de ses compagnons de combat, des hommes ordinaires, tragiques ou cocasses, échappant à toute vision héroïque ou édifiante.
Lorsqu'elle paraît en 1946, La main coupée est plus qu'un témoignage retardé, c'est une réparation. Réparation parce qu'elle est un mémorial contre l'oubli, réparation aussi pour son auteur qui, dans cet ouvrage tardif, s'autorise enfin, librement, à parler longuement de la guerre, de sa guerre, comme il ne l'avait jamais fait, comme personne ne l'avait jamais fait.©1946 Éditions Denoël (P)2005 Éditions Gallimard
