Moravagine

About “Moravagine”

Moravagine is a 1926 novel by Blaise Cendrars, published by Grasset. The book features an eponymous character, Moravagine, who serves as a doppelganger of the author. Cendrars spent a decade writing the novel and continued working on it throughout his life. In 1956, he partially rewrote the text and added a postface, as well as a section titled "Pro domo: How I wrote Moravagine." In his final revision, Cendrars stated that the book was definitely incomplete, as it was intended to be a preface to a "complete works of Moravagine" that was never written.
