Pierre Drieu la Rochelle is probably the only major French writer who openly called himself a fascist. Through the lips of one of his heroes, Drieu la Rochelle expressed his own life principle: "in everything and always, one must go to the limit, to that last line that touches death." On March 15, 1945, he committed suicide, because "everything moves in one direction. Everyone keeps up with life, and life knows where it is going - to death." Drieu began as a surrealist, extremely anti-bourgeois, but in the mid-1930s he declared himself a follower of the nationalist and monarchist Charles Maurras and supported anti-communist activities. Which did not prevent him from becoming an apologist for Stalin in 1944. "The Comedy of Charleroi" is a collection of stories about the First World War, inspired by Drieu la Rochelle's personal experience. The experience of not very long and not very successful participation in the general slaughter. It is not surprising that Rochelle considered modern warfare to be a war of machines, not men, a science, not an art.
