In the end few pages, Joseph Kessel creates a splendid work, inspired by his own experience. Praise of friendship, honor and loyalty, also praised a certain madness but praise of life especially. No life at all costs but rather to the life that has value because it refuses to sell off and then we are ready to die for not living any life. A huge novel which introduced Kessel and confirming thereafter, through a very dense and very heavy work, the talent that bursts in "The crew".
