Summary | "My First Battle: A Sergeant's Story" by Adam Mickiewicz is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the personal experiences of a young artillery sergeant as he embarks on his military journey during a pivotal conflict in Polish history. The narrative centers on the emotions and reflections surrounding his first battle, exploring themes of camaraderie, patriotism, and the stark realities of war. This poignant tale begins with the sergeant's initial excitement and romanticism about joining the military, which is soon tempered by the chaos of battle. As he navigates the complexities of warfare at the Battle of Stoczek, he experiences a whirlwind of emotions—fear, joy, and pride—as he and his comrades face the enemy. The sergeant develops a deep bond with his cannon, viewing it as both a tool of war and a symbol of his aspirations. Amid the adrenaline of combat, the camaraderie shared among soldiers becomes palpable, underscoring the bonds formed in times of hardship. Ultimately, "My First Battle" encapsulates both the glory and the grim realities faced by soldiers, capturing a transformative moment in the young sergeant’s life that he cherishes for its intensity and significance.
