Trans- Siberian Prose and Little Jeanne from France

Blaise  Cendrars  was a poet who wrote in a new style which is known as modernism.  The way he writes this poem Trans-Siberian Prose and Little Jeanne from France, is modern and it is related to our time.  He uses to tell lies in his stories like most of as do if we do not like the reality and want to make things more interesting in our lives.  Like in this poem, he tells a lot of places, and the different time frames, which are not true but yet they make the poem interesting for the reader’s eye.  I think that we as humans tend to tell lies whenever the reality does not go the way we want to. Cendrars tells lies most of the time in his poem, like for example about his age, the different places he travels to, also about the time he wrote this poem in 1913. He begging’s the poem by telling us that he was just in his adolescences which is not true, and how far was from his birth place. The author describes all this beautiful places where he pretends to be during his journey.  He describes all this little details about these places all around the world which gives an impression that he actually is really there.  And all the time he mentions what a bad poet he was, which I think makes us just believe that in fact he is a great poet. During his journey he expresses all kinds of feelings which he has like love for Jeanne,   the violence of the war, which is hard to describe how he felt is those moments in written. We do not know if Jeanne was during his journey with him nor was she just there in his imagination. He describes her as his love, she was just a child, sad and lonely, and yet she never cries, the life of a little prostitute. Compared to the other women he sees with golden dresses and great bodies, her body is unshaped, that of a child.
