" "His history is a series of victories over a series of tremendous difficulties. Since 1917, not a single year of his career has passed without his having done something which would have made any other man famous. He is a man of iron. The name by which he is known describes it: the word Stalin means "steel" in Russian. He is as strong and yet as flexible as steel. His power lies in his formidable intelligence, the breadth of his knowledge, the amazing orderliness of his mind, his passion for precision, his inexorable spirit of progress, the rapidity, sureness and intensity of his decisions, and his constant care to choose the right men.
Henri Barbusse (17 May 1873 – 30 August 1935) was a French novelist, journalist and member of the French Communist Party.

I sat down and leaned on my elbows. I thought of myself. Where was I now after all this? What was I going to do in life? I did not know. I would look about and would surely find something. So, sitting there, I quietly indulged in hopes. I must have no more sadness, no more anguish and fever. If the rest of my life was to pass in calm, in peace, I must go far, far away from all those awful serious things, the sight of which was terrible to bear.
Labri non è felice. Il soldato a cui è assegnato lo stratta male: spesso lo picchia, ma perlopiù non lo degna nemmeno di uno sguardo. Sta quasi tutto il giorno alla catena. Ha freddo, è malato, ed è abbandonato a se stesso. Non vive, si limita ad esistere. Ogni tanto, quando c’è del movimento intorno a lui, spera di uscire: si alza, si stiracchia e scodinzola per far vedere che è pronto. Ma è un’illusione, e si riaccuccia con lo sguardo fisso oltre la sua scodella piena di cibo.
È stufo, disgustato da questa vitaccia. Anche se riuscirà a scampare ai proiettili e alle bombe ai quali è esposto quanto noi, finirà per morire qui. Fouillade stende la sua mano asciutta sulla testa del cane, e quello lo fissa di nuovo. I loro sguardi sono uguali. L’unica differenza è che uno viene dall’alto e uno dal basso.
