David Almond (Je m’appelle Mina), Tracy Chevalier (La jeune fille à la perle), Timothée de Fombelle (Le livre de Perle), Michael Morpurgo (Cheval de Guerre)... Les plus grandes signatures de la littérature racontent la Première Guerre mondiale à partir d’objets emblématiques. Un superbe recueil contenant des nouvelles écrites par onze écrivains célébrés partout dans le monde : Timothée de Fombelle, Michael Morpurgo, Tracy Chevalier rendent hommage aux héros les plus ordinaires. Un soldat de plomb, un plat à beurre, une boussole... Des objets du quotidien. Pourtant, aux yeux de nos auteurs, ces artefacts touchent au cœur des vies humaines pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Chaque auteur de ce recueil a été enjoint de choisir un objet qui avait un lien avec la guerre – une croix de Victoria pour Timothée de Fombelle, un kit d’écriture pour David Almond, un casque pour Michael Morpurgo – et de s’en servir comme inspiration pour une nouvelle originale. Le résultat : un recueil extraordinaire, illustré par Jim Kay (Quelques minutes après minuit), avec des photographies des objets qui ont inspiré les nouvelles.
