Biribi etait le nom d un ensemble de bagnes militaires ou l on envoyait les soldats indisciplines. Ils y etaient soumis a un regime effroyable. Chatiments corporels, travail physique epuisant: beaucoup des condamnes en revenaient brises, quand ils en sortaient vivants. Georges Darien, qui avait devance l appel et effectuait son service militaire, y fut envoye en 1883, a l age de vingt-et-un ans. Il y passa trois annees, qu il decida de raconter dans ce qui deviendrait son premier roman. Biribi dut attendre deux ans avant de trouver un editeur: Darien etait anarchiste, et son texte constituait une telle charge contre l armee qu il risquait fort d entrainer des poursuites, dans une France ou l affaire Dreyfus allait eclater. Il parut enfin, en 1890, et reste, avec Le Voleur, l une des plus grandes reussites de Darien.
