About the Book

Carlo Salsa (1893-1962) est envoye au front sur le Karst des l'entree en guerre de l'Italie en 1915. Il y reste quinze mois, avant d'etre blesse puis retenu prisonnier par les Autrichiens. Trincee [Tranchees] est le recit de son experience au front: journal d'un soldat de premiere ligne, denonciation implacable de la conduite de la guerre par un homme du troupeau, c'est un document historique qui ne cede ni a la rhetorique nationaliste des annees de guerre, ni a sa recuperation par le fascisme naissant. Des sa parution en Italie, en 1924, le livre est censure. Redecouvert a la fin du XXe siecle, a la faveur de nouvelles recherches historiographiques sur la Grande Guerre, il a connu depuis plusieurs reeditions jusqu'a aujourd'hui. La reception de cet ouvrage, tardive en Italie, fort discrete en Europe, reste tres etonnante. Car non seulement Trincee est un recit d'une grande qualite litteraire, mais c'est aussi un livre d'une justesse historique remarquable. Aucun episode de la tragedie ne manque et la specificite de la guerre italienne convainc rapidement le lecteur: des combats en montagne avec des positions autrichiennes avantageuses, le manque de moyens et d'armes de l'armee italienne, des choix tactiques inadaptes a la guerre de tranchees et au terrain alpin, le mepris de l'etat-major pour les soldats, les episodes de fraternisation, la pratique de la decimation, une rhetorique aussi meurtriere que les armes, les milliers de prisonniers qui meurent de faim dans les camps autrichiens. La force de Trincee tient autant a la puissance du recit qu'a son authenticite: Carlo Salsa a vecu tous les evenements qu'il raconte; son temoignage est saisissant. Sa traduction en France pourra lui donner la place qu'il merite au sein de la meilleure litterature europeenne sur la Grande Guerre aux cotes de Erich Maria Remarque, de Andreas Latzko et de son compatriote Emilio Lussu (auteur des Hommes contre, traduction francaise 1995).
