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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781789145205\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102099435770,"sku":"9781789145205","price":23.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1653043262765_book.jpg?v=1653113478","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/blaise-cendrars-the-invention-of-life-9781789145205","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
