Bag om Five Years Of My Life, 1894-1899 (1901)
""Five Years of My Life, 1894-1899"" is a memoir written by Alfred Dreyfus, a French army officer who was falsely accused of passing military secrets to the Germans in 1894. The book recounts Dreyfus's experiences during his five-year imprisonment on Devil's Island, a remote penal colony off the coast of South America. Dreyfus describes the harsh conditions of his confinement, including the isolation, the lack of medical care, and the constant surveillance by guards. He also details his efforts to clear his name, including his correspondence with his family and supporters, his legal battles, and the public outcry that eventually led to his exoneration in 1906. The book provides a firsthand account of one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in French history and sheds light on the anti-Semitism and political corruption that fueled the Dreyfus Affair. It is a powerful testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and the fight for justice in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
