Summary: "La Belgique héroïque et martyre" by Various is a historical account that focuses on the impact of World War I on Belgium, likely written in the early 20th century. This compilation gathers reflections and artistic representations of the devastation experienced by the Belgian people and their cultural heritage during the German invasion. The work serves as a tribute to the resilience and sacrifices made by the Belgians in the face of overwhelming adversity. At the start of the text, the author establishes a solemn tone, highlighting the noble stand of King Albert I and the Belgian army against the German forces, emphasizing their commitment to honor and dignity even amid dire consequences. The opening sections feature poignant prefaces by prominent figures such as Maurice Maeterlinck, who reflect on the cruel suffering inflicted upon the nation, and capture the destruction of towns, monuments, and artworks.
