Beschreibungen/Notizen

• It is difficult to untangle the puzzle of Henry de Montherlant. He has borne conflicting political and personal labels over the years, from rake to misogynist, from radically patriotic veteran to despicable traitor. His writings have known the same fate, falling from the phenomenal popularity of his tetralogy Les jeunes filles in the 1930s into a certain brand of disfavor after the war.
