- More about Blaise Cendrars: The Invention of Life
Blaise Cendrars, born Frederic-Louis Sauser in 1912, was a French writer who created innovative poems, novels, essays, film scripts, and autobiographical prose. His writings reflect his curiosity, knowledge, and love of everyday life, and his contributions to twentieth-century literature deserve a wider readership in the English-speaking world.

In 1912, the young Frederic-Louis Sauser arrived in France, carrying an experimental poem and a new identity: Blaise Cendrars was born. Over the next half-century, Cendrars wrote innovative poems, novels, essays, film scripts, and autobiographical prose. His groundbreaking books and collaborations with artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Fernand Leger remain astonishingly modern today. Cendrars' writings reflect his insatiable curiosity, vast knowledge, largely self-taught, and love of everyday life. In this new account, Eric Robertson examines Cendrars' work against a turbulent historical background and reassesses his contribution to twentieth-century literature. Robertson shows how Cendrars is as relevant today as ever before and deserves a wider readership in the English-speaking world.
