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 wrongly accused of spying for Germany in 1894. The book was first published in 1901 and provides a detailed account of Dreyfus's experiences during his time in prison on Devil's Island, a penal colony off the coast of French Guiana. Dreyfus describes his arrest, trial, and conviction, as well as the harsh conditions he endured during his imprisonment. He also details the efforts of his family and supporters to clear his name, which eventually led to his exoneration in 1906. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the anti-Semitic attitudes and miscarriage of justice that characterized the Dreyfus Affair, a scandal that rocked French society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
