"War," by Pierre Loti, recounts the early days of World War I through the eyes of a French naval officer. The story starts with the author, yearning to be part of the action while stuck on the sidelines, followed by grim scenes of Belgian refugees escaping German attacks. This shows the stark difference between everyday life and the brutal reality of war, capturing the emotions of soldiers and regular people dealing with the start of the fighting as the narrative explores themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the deep human suffering caused by war.
