"The Inferno", Henri Barbusse's 1908 novel, is a brilliant examination of the philosophy of solipsism, which is the idea that knowledge outside of one's own mind is essentially unobtainable. Solipsism conjectures that the external world and the minds of other people can never be known to truly exist. The narrative follows an unnamed man who by cutting a hole in his room gains a view to the outside world. He voyeuristically bears witness to the full breadth of human experience and...

Ühe rühma päevik Selle hirmsa ja rõõmustava raamatu kirjutas Henri Barbusse, inimene, kes tegi ise läbi kõik sõja koledused. See ei ole geniaalse Lev Tolstoi paraadlik raamat, milles geenius uuris sõda kauges minevikus; see pole Verta Sutneri pisarlik teos “Maha sõda“, mis on kirjutatud hea kavatsusega, kuid ei suuda kedagi veenda ega kellegi veendumusi muuta. See on lihtne raamat täis prohvetlikku viha, see on esimene raamat, mis kõneleb sõjast lihtsalt ja karmilt, rahulikult ja tõe määratu...
