Il volume contiene le lettere scritte da Scipio Slataper (1888–1915) alle «tre amiche» triestine, Anna Pulitzer, Elody Oblath e Gigetta (Luisa) Carniel, tra l’estate del 1909 e il 3 dicembre 1915, quando egli cadde in combattimento sul Podgora, in vista del tanto amato Carso triestino. In queste lettere, che fungono anche da pagine di diario poiché in Scipio sovente la lettera è un "di sé a sé stesso", si rispecchia un’incandescente vicenda esistenziale ed intellettuale: di amicizia, di amore, di dolore, di ricerca del senso della vita, di impegno culturale e civile, di creazione artistica; mentre le ultime, a Gigetta, testimoniano i pochi mesi di vita al fronte. La cognizione del dolore, e quindi della vita, che gli venne dalla tragica morte di Anna, con cui visse una brevissima storia d’amore, fece riconoscere a Scipio il senso e il valore, e quindi il compito, da dare alla propria esistenza: amare gli uomini e operare per il loro bene. Una nozione più ampia e inclusiva dell’amore, che trascende quello a due, dall’estate del 1911, ricambiato, per Gigetta, ch’egli sposò nel settembre del 1913, mentre a Elody continuò a legarlo un’amicizia vera e profonda, «provata su tutti i frangenti». This volume presents the letters (approximately 600) that Scipio Slataper wrote between late 1909 and December 1915 to his “three friends” from Trieste, Anna Pulitzer, Gigetta (Luisa) Carniel, and Elody Oblath. These letters bring to light complex existential and intellectual storylines: of friendship, love, and pain, of the search of the purpose of life, cultural commitment, and artistic creation.

Un témoignage de plus sur la Première Guerre mondiale, par ceux qui l'ont vécue au jour le jour, alors que vient de disparaître le dernier poilu ? Non, car celui-ci est unique en son genre : c'est la guerre vue des bureaux de l'arrière, où l'on s'occupe du matériel et de la logistique des mouvements de troupe ; ce qui laisse à l'auteur de ce reportage quasi quotidien - tout au moins pendant trois ans, car la dernière année se passe réellement au front - toute latitude pour observer les faiblesses de l'organisation face à la formidable machinerie allemande, les inepties, parfois criminelles, de la bureaucratie ; mais aussi le comportement des appelés dans toute la diversité de ce gigantesque brassage social, les sourdes inimitiés comme la camaraderie la plus désintéressée, la couardise comme le courage. Beaucoup de temps aussi pour lire les journaux quotidiennement, s'irriter du bourrage de crâne, commenter la stratégie nationale et internationale. Écrites au fil de la plume, sans presque aucune rature, par un de ces fils de la III e République dont l'école permit à un jeune paysan franc-comtois de devenir un intellectuel profondément patriote et catholique engagé, très proche d'un Péguy, ces 900 pages frappent aussi par la qualité de l'écriture, capable de passer d'une hilarante scène de caserne aux réflexions les plus pénétrantes sur la nature du conflit, aux visions d'avenir, à la méditation sur ses propres conflits intérieurs. Saignée, ruinée, la France de 1918 a perdu, par coupable impéritie, la paix de Versailles ; 1940 et son " étrange défaite " trouve là une de ses explications. Préface de Jacques Marseille.

War Memorials were an important element of nation building, for the invention of traditions, and the establishment of historical traditions. Especially nationalist remembrance in the late 19th century and the memory of the First World War stimulated a memorial boom in the period which the present book is focusing on. The remembrance of war is nothing particularly new in history, since victories in decisive battles had been of interest since ancient times. However, the age of nationalism and the First World War triggered a new level of war remembrance that was expressed in countless memorials all over the world. The present volume presents the research of international specialists from different disciplines within the Humanities, whose research is dealing with the role of war memorials for the remembrance of conflicts like the First World War and their perceptions within the analyzed societies. It will be shown how memorials - in several different chronological and geographical contexts - were used to remember the dead, remind the survivors, and warn the descendants.
