So how is it different from the rest?

Dear readers, dear passing bots,

Before we get to the next article, today, a very important message. With… wait, advertising in it? What the hell is this scandal all about?

Wait! Don't leave just yet! And allow the master of the house to explain himself.

If the passers-by at the Parisian party got part of the information, here is phone number list the sad truth: the rogue that I am... writes. Not only on this blog, no: because after receiving so many kind emails asking me if I was planning to write something else one day, I finally got around to it. So I'll warn you right away, no Odious Stupidity in what we're going to talk about, but a seasonal subject: a novel set during the First World War.

"  Oh no! Not the First World War! With the centenary, everyone is talking about it! " 

Right, you little bastard, come here so I can pull your ear: aren't you tired of being told about this period through the same clichés all the time? Of being explained to you with figures that are beyond comprehension and big arrows on maps that don't really explain what was happening below said arrow? Well, there you have it. Hence a novel written by your servant called:

To Life, to War

Well, to begin with, it's a real-time serial novel. Meaning: one chapter per week, which tells, with exactly one century of difference, the same week as seen by Antoine, the main character, who writes his diary and dates each of his entries. Every Thursday, therefore, you can retrieve the latest extract from his diary and see, at the same time, how things were going in 1914: the movements, the morale, the news... and everything is based on precise historical elements. So not only are you reading a novel, but you're also going to learn things (this is the former history teacher speaking). As for who our hero and author of the diary is: he's a young Parisian worker who will find himself, one fine morning, having to join the 24th Infantry Regiment, better known as "the Paris Regiment" and leave for the front with a whole bunch of strangers around him.
