BARBUSSE, Henri. *Le Couteau entre les dents*. “To the Intel - Lot 49
BARBUSSE, Henri. *Le Couteau entre les dents*. “To the Intellectuals.” An important political manifesto published in the aftermath of World War I by Henri Barbusse, which delivers a passionate indictment of the powerlessness of bourgeois intellectuals in the face of the world’s great upheavals. Paris, Éditions Clarté, 1921. In-12 (170 x 130 mm), black cloth-bound cover, title label printed in black and red. 80 pages. Small tears on the spine, cover slightly scuffed, corners dog-eared. Published in the aftermath of World War I and the founding of the internationalist group Clarté, this manifesto by Henri Barbusse is a call for writers, scholars, and artists to take responsibility in the face of social upheaval. For some, it also marks the author’s embrace of communism and the Russian Revolution. A good copy.
