| Summary | "My Days of Adventure" by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly is an autobiographical account combined with historical insights about the Franco-German War of 1870-71, written during the early 20th century. The narrative reflects on personal experiences and observations of significant events surrounding the war, including figures involved, military strategies, and societal impacts in France during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book introduces the author’s family background, his early life, and the influences that shaped his interests in journalism and conflict. Vizetelly recalls notable encounters with famous individuals and important moments in history, such as his experiences growing up during the rise of the Second Empire. As he sets the stage for the Franco-German War, he shares insights about the political climate and foreshadows the implications of military decisions made by French leadership leading up to the conflict. This blend of personal recollection and detailed historical narrative suggests a rich exploration of the era, offering readers both a personal and broader perspective on the impact of war.
