Summary: "Mille et un jours en prison à Berlin" by Henri Béland is a memoir written in the aftermath of World War I, specifically during the late 1910s. The book chronicles the author’s personal experiences as a prisoner of war in Germany, beginning with his reflections on the lead-up to the war and his eventual capture. Béland shares poignant insights into the struggles and events surrounding his life during captivity, offering a firsthand account of the broader historical context of the war and its aftermath. The opening of this memoir introduces the reader to the tense atmosphere leading up to World War I, as Béland recalls being in France when the news of war broke in July 1914. As he vividly describes his experiences, including tense train journeys and conversations with strangers, he sets the stage for the ensuing chaos of the war. The narrative then transitions into his experiences of captivity in Germany, where he aims to portray, without pretension, the life of a prisoner of war. Through his anecdotes, Béland invites readers to witness both the absurdities and the sorrows of his situation, all while capturing the sentiments of a nation at the brink of upheaval.
