L'homme dans la guerre : Maurice Genevoix face à Ernst Jünger
Ils se battirent l’un contre l’autre, à la tranchée de Calonne, et furent blessés le même jour. Ces deux hommes, si jeunes, vécurent le même conflit, l’un germanophile, l’autre francophile, l’un et l’autre amoureux des lettres et du pays ennemi. Ils devinrent deux immenses écrivains sous les ombres et dans l’horreur, par l’horreur.
Maurice Genevoix parle de chaque homme qui tombe ; Ernst Jünger évoque les soldats, l’armée, la nation. Leur lecture croisée, cent ans après, donne un éclairage extraordinaire sur le premier conflit mondial. Bernard Maris s’approche d’un double mystère : celui de l’acharnement et de la singularité de nos deux nations. Il nous porte, avec Genevoix et Jünger, à la hauteur de cette Guerre dite « Grande ».

Bernard Maris confronte deux écrivains de la première guerre mondiale, Ernst Jünger & Maurice Genevoix, que tout oppose. L'un pénétré d'une vision aristocratique de la guerre vue de façon quasiment métaphysique. L'autre cherchant à rendre dans le détail le vécu des poilus. Le livre est divisé en thèmes (la guerre, la terre, la mort...) et montre la grande érudition de l'auteur, par ailleurs neveu de Genevoix, et sa grande humanité. Pour ma part, n'ayant lu ni l'un ni l'autre, je suis resté quelque peu sur ma faim mais le livre m'a néanmoins donné envie de les découvrir. Les pages sur le fanatisme résonnent d'un écho particulier quand on sait que l'auteur fut victime des attentats de Paris en janvier 2015.
