Karya

1912: La race immortelle, roman épique, under the pseudonym René Milan 1915: Les Vagabonds de la gloire (prix Davaine; prix de la Ligue maritime française 1916), first published under the pseudonym René Milan and then reissued under his real name. I - Campagne d'un croiseur II - Trois étapes III - Matelots aériens 1917: L'Odyssée d'un transport torpillé, Éditions Payot, (prix Fémina). Maurice Larrouy wrote this story in four weeks. The publication appeared anonymously in episodes in the "Revue de Paris" in 1917, in the middle of the world conflict. The publisher did not submit the first part to censorship, but the following part was truncated and the third part, deemed dangerous, formally prohibited, the author recounting daily life on board a ship in the form of letters or diary aboard a merchant navy of refueling. 1921: Raphaël Gatouna, Français d'occasion 1923: Gatouna et l'Amour 1924: Le Révolté, a maritime novel that inspired a film in 1938 1925: Coups de roulis, a novel of which Albert Willemetz drew inspiration in 1928 for the operetta composed by André Messager 1926: La caravane sur l'Atlantique 1926: Leurs Petites majestés, Indochinese novel. The novel tells in a rather light way the embarkation and the cruise on the adviso Roncevaux of a king of the kingdom of Sikar (Indochina peninsula), his majesty Pharnavong, his prime minister Prince Ploum, his first mandarin Bang and his three younger wives. The arrival of this little world on a ship of war, however small, considerably disrupts the life of the Pacha, the lieutenant of Kerquibec, and his two officers, ensigns Goyenne, second officer, and Quintard, not to mention the crew ... 1927: Le marin 1927: Sirènes et tritons, le roman du sous-marin 1928: Trop de Bonheur 1928: Le Trident 1930: Les sept sacrements, roman d'un marin 1931: Eaux brûlantes, Paris, is a narrative of travel from France to Indochina. The first chapter relates the life aboard the steamer André-Lebon during the few weeks of transit. The book then describes French Indochina during the colonial exhibition, in a very "colonially correct" genre. It nevertheless offers a good testimony on this great colony at the time of the apogee of the biggest France. A few pages are devoted to the attempted record air link France-Far East by Joseph Le Brix. He also devotes a chapter to Java. 1933: Le cargo tragique, Paris 1933: La vénus standard, Paris 1934: Eaux glacées, Paris, travel history in Manchuria, Japan, Canada and the United States. 1934: L’Invincible Armada 1936: Arches de discorde 1937: La grande fraude, Paris
