About the military Doctor Role of Doctor and Writer Arthur Munk During World War I and his Russian Imprisonment

Summary/Abstract: With a paper dealing with the micro-historic examination of World War I, I want to examine the years of war and the subsequent years of captivity based on the experiences of Arthur Munk, a writer from Subotica, Serbia. About his experiences as a military doctor, we learn from his 1915–1916 book titled Napló [Diary], and about his time spent as an Russian prisoner of war we learn from his autobiography titled Köszönöm addig is... [Thank you in the meantime...] and his autobiographic novel A nagy káder [The Great Cadre]. This paper does not only address the difficult life situation during the World War and during his subsequent period spent as a prisoner of war, but it also addresses the delights rooted in them: his relationship built in captivity and the child born of that relationship whose development is chronicled by the so far unknown diary of Arthur Munk.
