Kriegsgefangen : Erlebtes 1870. by Theodor Fontane
"Kriegsgefangen: Erlebtes 1870" by Theodor Fontane is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the author's experiences during the Franco-Prussian War, focusing on moments of detention and the turmoil of war. Through Fontane's perspective, we encounter various characters and situations that reflect the complexity of military conflict and personal struggle. At the start of the narrative, the author describes his arrival in Toul, where he plans
a journey to the historical land associated with Joan of Arc. After encountering logistical difficulties and meeting several local characters—including a sickly Madame Grosjean who struggles to arrange transportation—he embarks on his journey to Domremy. However, he experiences tension with the local populace, culminating in a moment where he is detained and questioned about his identity and purpose. The opening sets a tone of apprehension and intrigue, establishing the author's reflections on both the beauty of the French landscape and the harsh realities of war.
