(en) This article deals with the Belgian writer Max Deauville and with the truly pacifist attitude expressed throughout his writings of war. It is divided into three parts. (1) Presentation of the author and his works, containing unpublished excerpts of the correspondence between the author and Jean Norton Cru; (2) intertextuality between Deauville's and other war poet's works; (3) the image of the enemy in an imagological approach. The latter point shall answer questions such as: Which image of 'the Germans' does Deauville provide the reader with in his 'testimony'? Who is represented as enemy? Which are the consequences of these images? The aim of all three points is to situate Deauville within the field of pacifist war literature of his time.
