Mille et un jours en prison à Berlin

The author recounts his experiences from a stay in Belgium at the outbreak of war through arrest and prolonged captivity in a Berlin prison, offering a sequence of personal episodes and observations. He narrates the journey back as conflict erupts, local reactions and encounters that presage invasion, then describes daily life behind high walls under Prussian guards. The account mixes light, indifferent and somber incidents, sketches of prison routines, treatment by authorities, and occasional human moments among fellow prisoners. The aim is straightforward reportage of captivity rather than political analysis or literary flourish.
