Henri Barbusse (1873 to 1935) was a French novelist, short story writer, journalist, poet and political activist. He began in the 1890s as a Symbolist poet, publishing the collection Pleureuses in 1895, and wrote his first novel, L'Enfer (Hell), in 1908. His war novel Le Feu (Under Fire), based on his own service, won the Prix Goncourt in 1916 and is counted among the earliest works of the Lost Generation, with a strong effect on Hemingway and Remarque. After the war he joined the French Communist Party, edited the journal Clarte and wrote a biography of Stalin. He was a lifelong friend of Albert Einstein.
