| Summary | "Voyages au front, de Dunkerque à Belfort" by Edith Wharton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the realities and experiences of France during the First World War, particularly as seen through the lens of Paris and its surroundings. Wharton, known for her keen observations and profound insights into society, paints a vivid picture of the emotional and atmospheric shifts that accompany the onset of war. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in August 1914, just prior to the official outbreak of World War I, capturing the serenity of rural France as the calm before a storm. It describes a journey to Paris filled with scenes of beauty and tranquility, juxtaposed with growing tensions as society braces for conflict. Wharton presents a striking contrast between the peaceful life of Parisians and the impending war, showcasing their denial and acceptance of the circumstances. The initial impressions of Paris reveal a city unaware of its fate, filled with tourists and citizens oblivious to the chaos that is about to disrupt their lives irrevocably.
