«Capitaine Conan» is the war novel by Roger Vercel, published by Albin Michel in paperback (251 pages, in French).
It follows a French battalion on the Balkan front during the First World War and after the armistice, through the officers Norbert and Conan. It portrays the brutality of the conflict, the dehumanization of soldiers, and the helplessness of those who, accustomed to fighting, try to return to civilian life, and it criticizes the institutions of the state.
Winner of the Prix Goncourt in 1934; the first edition dates from that year and this one from 1988. It belongs to the Bibliothèque Albin Michel collection.
Recommended for readers of historical and war fiction, especially those interested in the First World War and French literature.
