Thus the writer manages to channel the emotional charge engendered by the war, and to conserve the hope “of seeing two great countries alter their aims and their function through simple benevolence.” PY - 2016 DA - 2016/12/21 DP - Classiques Garnier PB - Classiques Garnier CY - Paris LA - fre UR - https://shop.staging.classiques-garnier.net/cahiers-jean-giraudoux-2016-n-44-giraudoux-critique-essayiste-et-temoin-de-son-temps-amica-america-une-meditation-sur-eros-et-thanatos-en.html Y2 - 2025/12/06 ER -
