Summary Barbus A


Henri Barbusse (born 17 May 1873 – August 30, 1935, Moscow) is a French writer, journalist and public figure in the international communist movement. Foreign Honorary Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1933). Member of the French Communist Party since 1923.
Fame for Henri Barbusse came thanks to the anti-war novel “Fire” (Le Feu, 1916), dedicated to the revolutionization of the consciousness of the masses during the First World War; For the Barbousse style, naturalism is characteristic. In addition, his pen belongs to collections of short stories “Incidents” and “True Stories” (1928). Laureate of the prestigious French Goncourt Prize.
The October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, Henri Barbusse perceived as a major milestone in modern history, of world-historical significance, which gave hope to the European peoples for liberation from the yoke of the capitalist system. Under the influence of events in Russia joined the FKP. In 1924, he opposed the reprisals of the participants of the Tatarbunar uprising from Romania. In his works “Light from the Abyss” (1920), “Manifesto of Intellectuals” (1930) Barbousse sharply criticized the capitalist exploitation and bourgeois civilization, while actively propagandizing the building of socialism in the USSR and personally the activities of Stalin (“Russia”, 1930, frankly apologetic essay “Stalin,” 1935, published posthumously).
Henri Barbusse was also the founder of the international anti-war association of cultural figures “Klarte” (since 1919, editor of the magazine “Klarte”, together with Romain Rolland, 1919-24).
He died during a trip to the USSR on August 30, 1935. He was buried in Paris at the Pere Lachaise cemetery.
