Synopsis

Excerpt from My Visit to Ruhleben

I must ask my readers further to remember that this is a description of the camp and its life and the men as I saw them, and it is this description alone that they wish me to give. Every one here knows, something at least, of what they had to endure in those early months of their internment at Ruhleben. The recollection of it can never pass away from the minds of either old or young, nor the effects of it either; but, with the magnanimity which distinguishes them, they do not wish to brood upon it, nor to cherish rancour or resentful feelings about it; and in obedience, therefore, to their express wishes I am confining myself to the description of things as I actually saw them.

In justice to the German authorities, I should like to make it also quite clear that it was their wish that I should see things just as they are. There was no preparation in the camp for my visit the greater part of the staff, as I shall describe later, were absent when I arrived; no one knew that I was expected, and nothing whatever was done in preparation for me except the setting aside of a room for me to occupy, in case I should come.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
