"Pierre Drieu La Rochelle published (on his own account) his first poems - which are his first texts - in 1917: Interrogation. Then Canteen bottom...in 1920. Largely inspired by his experience of war and his vision of peace, they already present the major themes that his prose work - novels, short stories, essays - will exploit until his death: the need for a balance between dream and action; the restoration of bodies in society; the degeneration of the population; the feeling of being European at the same time if not more than French; the desire for a strong social political regime for Europe and for France; the aesthetic, erotic and mystical value of love, etc.".
