LOUIS ARAGON (1897-1982) was one of the greatest French poets of the 20th century. In the 1920s, he was one of the leaders of the Dadaist and Surrealist movements in Paris and, in the following decade, he edited the anti-fascist journal Commune and the French Communist Party newspaper Ce Soir.
During the German occupation he was active in the Resistance and after WWII he edited Les Lettres Francaises, was elected to the PCF central committee and won the Lenin Peace Prize.
