About “Passengers of destiny”
Les voyageurs de l'impériale is a novel by Louis Aragon, first published in English in 1941 and in French in 1946. It is the third book in his Le Monde Réel series. The novel reflects Aragon's observations of French society's responses to the Spanish Civil War and the events leading up to World War II. It serves as a contrast to his previous work, Les Beaux Quartiers, which emphasizes socially engaged behavior. In Les voyageurs de l'impériale, Aragon critiques the tendency to avoid political involvement in favor of personal, short-term goals. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
