Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) is certainly not only an exceptional poet, but also a prestigious prose writer. Resolutely modern, the author of Alcools and Calligrammes remains so in prose. If one still needed to be convinced, one would only have to open the present volume, which brings together the last stories written by Apollinaire, in 1917 and 1918, where one will discover the immense talent of the enchanter that he was, able to so brilliantly stage both themes specific to the science of his time (such as cosmetic surgery) and resolutely classic fictional characters (such as Cinderella). A feast of prowess, wonders and comical jokes.
