Summary/Abstract: Marc Boasson is one of the ten millions killed during the great war – one of those intellectuals – erudite and refined, who was mixed up with other men, coming from other socials backgrounds. At first, he dealt with the war as a dandy, but along weeks and months, his behaviour changed, he became different, torn between his rage, his empathy and his disdain for this suffering humanity.
