"Civilisation 1914-1918" by Georges Duhamel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work captures the profound experiences of soldiers during World War I, exploring the human condition amidst the chaos and devastation of war. Duhamel's narrative dives deep into the lives and thoughts of a few French soldiers, providing a poignant and unsettling portrayal of the impact of war on humanity and civilization. The opening of "Civilisation 1914-1918" sets a somber tone as it introduces the reader to a military train journey during a calm but eerie autumn night in 1916. The narrator reflects on his surroundings and the conversations of fellow officers, revealing their weary acceptance of the war's grim reality. Meticulously depicting the internal anguish and camaraderie among soldiers, Duhamel presents characters like Revaud, who struggles with the aftermath of his injuries, and the somber yet humorous exchanges between soldiers that highlight their courage in the face of despair. The vivid imagery and emotional depth establish a haunting narrative that foreshadows the intimate tragedies that will unfold throughout the book, capturing the essence of human resilience amidst the horrors of conflict.
