  Henri Barbusse (1873 - 1935)
Henri Barbusse (May 17, 1873 - August 30, 1935) was a French novelist and journalist.
In introducing M. Barbusse's most important book to a public already familiar with "Under Fire," it seems well to point out the relation of the author's philosophy to his own time, and the kinship of his art to that of certain other contemporary French and English novelists.
Although M. Barbusse is one of the most distinguished contemporary French writers of short stories, he has found in the novel form the most fitting literary medium for the expression of his philosophy, and it is to realism rather than romanticism that he turns for the exposition of his special imaginative point of view.

 First World War.com - Prose & Poetry - Henri Barbusse
Henri Barbusse (1873-1935) was the author of Le Feu (Under Fire), a classic memoir of wartime service in the French Army during the First World War.
Born on 17 May 1873 in Asnières, Barbusse's early career saw him steer a course first as a neo-Symbolist poet, publishing Pleureuses (Mourners) in 1895, and then as a neo-Naturalist novelist, publishing L'Enfer (The Inferno) in 1908.
However Barbusse gained fame - and notoriety - with the publication of Le Feu in 1916 (published as Under Fire in English), in what was one of the earliest memoirs to critique the French rationale for war and to establish a firmly anti-war stance.

The homage to Barbusse, a French veteran and member of the French Communist Party until his death in Moscow in 1935 and an author inevitably outlawed by Hitler's Reich, shows the extent of Dix's uncompromising political opposition to the regime as it again prepared for war.
The literary allusion helps to specify the subject - no longer the carnage, but the flooding of the trenches, which made fighting impossible and forced soldiers from both sides to flee their dugouts with no thoughts of killing each other.
The ground was dotted with beings sleeping or gently stirring, lifting an arm, raising their heads, coming back to life or else dying.

 Greatest Literature of All Time - Henri Barbusse
For someone who wrote one of the greatest novels to come out of the First World War and is often credited as the writer who turned French literature around in the twentieth century, Henri Barbusse is surprisingly little known in much of the world today.
Barbusse was born outside Paris and joined the artistic circles of that city, producing mainly poetry and journalism at first.
After the war Barbusse joined the newly formed French communist party and wrote the very political novels Clarté (1919, translated as Light), Les Enchainements (1924, Chains) and Le Judas of Jésus (1927, The Judas of Jesus) in which Christ is portrayed as an early communist revolutionary.

Hemingway's aesthetic connections to Henri Barbusse's Le Feu (Under Fire) have been virtually ignored by American critics.
But Hemingway appropriated in A Farewell to Arms Barbusse's method of "constater," his technique of suspending protest in "poetry," and his creation of a distinctly modern anti-war consciousness.
He was the first to show us, the boys who went from school or college to the last war, that you could protest in anything besides poetry, the gigantic useless slaughter and lack of even elemental intelligence in generalship that characterized the Allied conduct of that war from 1915 to 1917....

Whether or not Barbusse intended for the reader to discover this coping mechanism in such a "hands-on-manner" is unclear.
Some of the methods of coping, as described by Barbusse, was for soldiers to interject humour into their day; a day which could otherwise be described as just going through the motions of survival.

 Under Fire - Henri Barbusse - Penguin Group (USA)
Based on his own experience of the Great War, Henri Barbusse’s novel is a powerful account of one of the greatest horrors mankind has inflicted on itself.
For the group of ordinary men in the French Sixth Battalion, thrown together from all over France and longing for home, war is simply a matter of survival, lightened only by the arrival of their rations or a glimpse of a pretty girl or a brief reprieve in the hospital.
Reminiscent of classics like Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms and Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front, Under Fire (originally published in French as La Feu) vividly evokes life in the trenches—the mud, stench, and monotony of waiting while constantly fearing for one’s life in an infernal and seemingly eternal battlefield.

Henri Barbusse, Jay Winter (Introduction), Robin Buss (Translator)
Barbusse was already a recognised author when he started this novel, and he wrote much of it whilst still in the Trenches.
In my opinion, the characteristic trait of this novel are the lucid, visual descriptions of the battles and the field in which they occurred as a barren, consuming hell of mud, fire and death, and the men as having been reduced to barbarous troglodytes by the unending and pitiless misery of their existence.

For others, like Charles Vildrac and Henri Guilbeaux, the war provided the catalyst for the expansion of a humanist-based aesthetic devoted to the unification of life and art and the blending of the real and ideal.
Inspired by a love of Hugo, Wagner, Tolstoy, and Whitman and fueled by the activities of contemporary socialists and anarchists, an entire generation of young creative people defined beauty as the symbiosis of the physical and spiritual presence of the community of humankind.
