"'Jena' or 'Sedan'?" by Franz Adam Beyerlein is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the themes of military service, national identity, and the societal changes in Germany during a tumultuous period. The main character, Franz Vogt, must leave his village to fulfill his mandatory military service, presenting a portrait of a young man's transition into the responsibilities and realities of adult life in the military. The opening of the novel introduces Franz Vogt as he prepares to depart for his two years of military duty, reflecting on the familiar sights of his home and expressing nervous anticipation for what lies ahead. His father, the former turnpike-keeper, provides guidance and offers a glimpse into their family's history, emphasizing the weight of expectations in a time of national conflict. As Franz embarks on his journey, the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of his experiences as he interacts with fellow soldiers and navigates the challenges of military life, hinting at the broader implications of duty and sacrifice within the context of a nation poised between glorious victories and their subsequent disillusionments.
