| Summary | "La Hyène Enragée" by Pierre Loti is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a poignant reflection on the horror and devastation experienced during World War I, particularly through the eyes of its main character, Captain Julien Viaud, who grapples with his sense of duty while witnessing the suffering caused by the war. The themes of innocence lost, societal collapse, and the brutality of conflict are likely central to its narrative, providing readers with a critical lens on the wartime experience. The opening of the novel begins with a letter from Captain Julien Viaud to the French Minister of the Navy, expressing his desire to be of greater service during the war, as he feels condemned to inactivity while the country is in turmoil. It quickly shifts focus to the painful plight of Belgian refugees fleeing the atrocities of war, highlighting the horror and chaos engulfing families as they are torn apart by violence. The narrative then unfolds around these displaced individuals, notably two young brothers who cling to each other amid the despair. Through vivid imagery and emotional insight, the beginning underscores the profound impact of war on innocence and humanity, setting the tone for a story steeped in both personal and collective tragedy.
