Taken on 16th January 1929, this image showcases Barbusse's distinctive moustache and reflects his strong political beliefs as a communist and pacifist during the tumultuous interwar period. Barbusse's literary masterpiece, "Under Fire" published in 1916, exposed the hideous cruelties endured by soldiers during World War I. The novel provided an unflinching portrayal of the brutality and suffering faced by those on the frontlines. It became a seminal work that shed light on the realities of war, earning Barbusse international acclaim.
