The Diary of a French Private: War-Imprisonment, 1914-1915
Riou, Gaston
National characteristics, German; World War, 1914-1918 -- Prisoners and prisons
Another brilliant, fascinating, out-of-the-ordinary Chamberlain novel.
The panoramic setting is Europe, America, Africa, and the seas between.
The style is the author’s swiftest, that whirls the reader along. And
John Bogardus’s love-story, or series of love-stories, is a beautiful,
tender, and extraordinarily illuminating record. Behind the rushing
style, the astonishing fire of epigrams, the groups of memorable
characters, and the stream of the alluring plot, the reader is gratefully
conscious of a deep and rich background of seeing and thinking and
feeling.

from first-hand experience. It must be read to appreciate its
power.”—_Aberdeen Journal._
