Douze Cent Mille by Luc Durtain, first published in 1922, is a collection of short stories that captures the spirit and anxieties of post-World War I Europe. Durtain's vivid prose and keen observations offer a window into a world grappling with rapid social and technological changes. The stories explore themes of modernity, alienation, and the search for meaning in an increasingly complex world. These stories, written in elegant French, provide a fascinating glimpse into the literary landscape of the early 20th century. This collection showcases Durtain's talent for character development and his ability to create compelling narratives that resonate with readers even today.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
