English summary: In May 1916, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle walked the English, Italian, and French fronts. Like the majority of British writers, the father of Sherlock Holmes joined the War Propaganda Bureau, the secret organization that helped created modern propaganda during the First World War. His A Visit to Three Fronts portrays the action and courage of the allied soldiers, epic knights surrounded by devastation. French translation of the recently reedited original text. French description: Mai 1916. A 55 ans, sir Arthur Conan Doyle, un bol de fer sur la tete , arpente les fronts anglais, italiens et francais. Comme la majorite des ecrivains britanniques, le pere de Sherlock Holmes a rejoint le War Propaganda Bureau, organisme secret a l'origine de la propagande moderne nee durant le premier conflit mondial. Ce sont le talent et l'audience d'ecrivains aussi celebres que Doyle, Rudyard Kipling ou H. G. Wells qui vont permettre aux Britanniques d'etre les vainqueurs de cette bataille des idees. L'auteur de La Compagnie blanche et de La Grande Ombre , ce sportsman patriote vrai comme l'acier et droit comme une lame retrouve donc le chemin de la guerre qu'il a connue durant le conflit des Boers. Son livre Visite sur les trois fronts - qui n'avait pas ete republie depuis 1916 - magnifie l'action et le courage des soldats allies devant l'horrible Boche . Soldats forcement superbes, chevaliers epiques au milieu de cites devastees, comme a Ypres: C'est la ville d'un reve, cette moderne Pompei, detruite, desertee et profanee, mais avec une dignite fiere et triste qui vous poussait malgre vous a baisser la voix en passant dans ses rues en ruine. La guerre, peinte par l'un des meilleurs conteurs de la litterature britannique, a de l'allure. Conan Doyle lui paiera un lourd tribut. Il y perd deux neveux, deux de ses beaux-freres et son frere cadet, le brigadier general Innes Doyle. Mais surtout son fils aine, Kingsley, est grievement blesse a la bataille de la Somme et meurt de maladie en octobre 1918. Conan Doyle plonge alors dans un desespoir dont il ne se relevera jamais.
