« Mort de Ségaux, mort de Drigeard », une parole dans la guerre

In “Mort de Ségaux, mort de Drigeard,” Giraudoux, far from producing a discourse about the war, forges what seems to him to be the right words for war. The one who has the word at the end of the journey is not a writer remembering the war but a soldier who, at the fatal moment, becomes a martyr for an eternal France. Giraudoux is not doing politics. Nevertheless, he vigorously promotes the ideology of the national novel.
