"Le Purgatoire" by Thierry Sandre is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a French soldier during World War I, who finds himself captured and taken behind enemy lines after the intense fighting around Verdun. The book explores themes of war, identity, and the psychological toll of combat as it impacts both soldiers and their captors. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist describes his unexpected capture by German soldiers as they traverse hostile territory. The vivid imagery sets the scene of a war-torn landscape, detailing the chaos and horrors witnessed on the battlefield. He reflects on his condition, the confusion of being a prisoner, and his interactions with German soldiers who seem both human and distant at once. The opening captures a mix of dread, resilience, and the surreal nature of wartime experiences, setting the tone for a profound exploration of the struggles faced by soldiers in war.
