Drieu la Rochelle-Secret Journal

Drieu la Rochelle suicide in 1944. In the book, It is described that he tried to kill himself many times from his young age. I could not understand his childhood. However, any of suicide was not successful. It makes me to feel that he was somewhat cowered. The era, he was living, was very cruel, which is hard to feel nowadays. During the war, his writing of secret journal was published in 1992. This book implies the life of Rochelle during the war. He tried to figure out the meaning of beauty of the French people. All of all, I couldn’t understand him and his life in the book.
