The article discusses about the books of literature that have chosen for the Goncourt prizes. For four years all the prizes have gone to war writers. The only Goncourt Prize book that has won universal reputation is "Le Feu" ("Under Fire"), by Henri Barbusse. Goncourt brothers destined the prize to remunerate a work of imagination-the best novel, the best collection of short stories, the best volume of impressions, the best volume of imagination in prose, and exclusively in prose, published within the year. It stirred Germany herself to praise, which is ominous.
