Among the literary works, cartoons and films discussed are the journalism of Georges de la Fouchardi\u00E8re, Le Feu by Henri Barbusse, and Charlie Chaplin\u2019s Little Tramp.\nABOUT US\nDELIVERY RETURNS\nPostscript is a long-established mail order company specialising in good quality publishers' overstocks and remainder books at discounts of up to 80% off the published price.
