Cehennem, bireyin kendi aklı dışındaki bilginin elde edilemez olduğu fikrini savunan solipsizm felsefesinin muhteşem bir şekilde incelemesidir. Solipsizm, dış dünyanın ve diğer insanların uslarının varlığından asla emin olunamayacağı tahmininde bulunur. Hikaye, odasında bir delik açarak dış dünyayı inceleyebileceği bir manzaraya sahip olan isimsiz bir adamın peşinden şekillenmektedir. Sevgiyi, ölümü, yasak ilişkileri ve doğumları gözetler. İnsan deneyimlerinin ve duygularının yabancılığına sinsice şahit olurken tüm gördüklerinin felsefi imalarını gözden geçirir. Bazıları tarafından röntgenciliğin sarsıcı bir çalışması olarak görülen Cehennem, aslında solipsizm felsefesinin derin bir incelemesidir. Bence, Henri Barbusse bir yüksek, bir gerçek sanatçının nasıl çalışması, nasıl yaşaması, nasıl ve niçin dövüşmesi lâzım geldiğini, bütün bir insan soyuna en muazzam ölçülerle gösteren bir âbidedir. Sabahattin Ali

"No one who has ever read this remarkable novel and looked at human life through Barbusse's peephole can ever forget the experience."—Robert Baldick"It is Barbusse, not Gide, not Proust and not Malroux whose work marks the great turning point in French twentieth-century literature."—Jean Favrille Hell is the most highly focused study of voyeurism ever written. A young man staying in a Paris boarding house finds a hole in the wall above his bed. Through this he obsessively studies the private moments and secret activities of his neighbors. Marriage, adultery, lesbianism, religion and death are all seen through this small spy hole.Decades ahead of its time Hell shocked and scandalized the reviewing public when first released in English. Even so, The New Republic praised «the beauty of the book's nervous yet fluid rhythms. . . . Every simile is faultlessly keyed. The book sweeps away life's illusions.»

"The Inferno", Henri Barbusse's 1908 novel, is a brilliant examination of the philosophy of solipsism, which is the idea that knowledge outside of one's own mind is essentially unobtainable. Solipsism conjectures that the external world and the minds of other people can never be known to truly exist. The narrative follows an unnamed man who by cutting a hole in his room gains a view to the outside world. He voyeuristically bears witness to the full breadth of human experience and emotion. He witnesses love, death, adultery, and birth and considers the philosophical implications of all that he sees. Considered by some as a shocking work of voyeurism when it first appeared, «The Inferno» is in fact a profound examination of the philosophy of solipsism.

One of the most powerful accounts of trench warfare from the WWI era, “Under Fire” recounts the experiences of the men of the French Sixth Battalion on the front lines after the German invasion. While a fictional narrative, “Under Fire” is based upon diaries Barbusse had written on the front from 1914-1915, and completed in the hospital while recovering from injuries. Barbusse published his work in both serial and book form in late 1916. By the end of the war it was a world-wide bestseller, having sold over a quarter of a million copies. The narrative received mixed reviews at first because of Barbusse’s gritty and brutal realism, which some war critics saw as validation for their protests, while others felt it fictionalized and exaggerated the war. Since then, “Under Fire” has been ranked with such classics as “A Farewell to Arms” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” as one of the most powerful, realistic portrayals of the horrors of war. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
