The second volume in Gibrat's impressive historical adventure series.
From the publisher:
Mattéo follows the singular destiny of a man who, from 1914 to 1939, from the First World War to the Second, to the Russian revolution, the Popular Front, and the Spanish Civil War, lives through tumultuous times of inflamed passions.
In spite of himself and his militant pacifism, Mattéo will see all of these wars, face tumultuous times and love affairs.
