Bio
Barbusse’s novel Le Feu, published in 1916, attacked the social realities of the First World War. After the war he helped organize Clarté as an international gathering of intellectuals committed to social transformation. His statement about the group appears in the second issue of L’Ordine Nuovo. He joined the French Communist Party in 1923 and subsequently defended Soviet communism.
