"L'Appel au soldat" de Maurice Barrès est le deuxième volet de sa trilogie acclamée "Le Roman de l'énergie nationale". Publié en 1900, le roman poursuit l'histoire des jeunes Lorrains introduite dans le premier livre, "Les Déracinés". Au fur et à mesure que les personnages ont grandi, certains ont eu du mal à résister au déracinement qu'ils ont vécu en s'installant à Paris, tandis que d'autres ont pleinement embrassé l'aventure politique. L'œuvre de Barrès explore les thèmes du nationalisme, du patriotisme et du conflit entre les désirs individuels et l'attachement à la terre natale.
