Description

In 1912 the young Frederic-Louis Sauser arrived in France, carrying an experimental poem and a new identity: Blaise Cendrars was born.

Over the next half-century, Cendrars wrote innovative poems, novels, essays, film scripts and autobiographical prose.

His ground-breaking books and collaborations with artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Fernand Leger remain astonishingly modern today.

Cendrars's writings reflect his insatiable curiosity, his vast knowledge which was largely self-taught, and his love of everyday life. In this new account Eric Robertson examines Cendrars's work against a turbulent historical background and reassesses his contribution to twentieth-century literature.

Robertson shows how Cendrars is as relevant today as ever before, and deserves a wider readership in the English-speaking world.
