Fascinating wartime travel memoir that blends danger, wit, and unexpected friendship.
Set against the backdrop of World War I, this memoir follows a daring journey through occupied France. The narrator navigates close calls, shifting loyalties, and the uneasy balance between peril and humanity, all while maintaining a sharp, often dry humor that lightens the heavy moments.
In a tapestry of telegrams, embassies, and improvised stay plans, the narrative offers a front-row view of wartime life—its risks, its improvisation, and the quiet acts of kindness that endure amid chaos.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
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.
