"In the Foreign Legion" by Erwin Rosen is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The book depicts the author's experiences as a soldier in the French Foreign Legion, providing insights into the lives of recruits and the harsh realities they face. The central character is a young German man who chooses to enlist in the Foreign Legion following a series of personal failures and heartaches, seeking adventure and a new beginning." "The opening of the work introduces the protagonist as he reflects on his troubled past, feeling lost and hopeless after losing a chance at happiness. He arrives in Belfort, intent on enlistment, and experiences a myriad of emotions—from dread and self-doubt to a sense of resolve to escape his former life. In the enlistment office, he encounters a diverse group of hopeful recruits, all embodying various struggles and aspirations. The chapter sets the tone for the journey ahead, evoking themes of despair, camaraderie, and the harsh initiation into the life of a légionnaire while hinting at personal redemption through shared hardship."
