The Adventures of Gerard

What we have here a collection of eight stories written allegedly a colonel of the hussars of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée. His stories take us from the battlefields of the Spanish landscape of the peninsula, in Russia (and retirement), the Battle of Waterloo, and a failed rescue fantasy of the Emporer St. Hélène.Ce stories are rushing doo and have all the characteristics of honor Doyle Soft- masculinity. Note that these stories were written 80-100 years after the actual battle. Many people he wrote about, had known for people between the ages of his parents. While Doyle understand how these people and thought agissaient.La reading (I, listed at the tape played by Bolen) stories, which prevents me, commented on the character of Gerard Etienne. Some comments are very funny and can not so much pretentious Doyles colonel are on the tape. It looks like it has been thought little insight into happiness and cowardice and is totally in his own abilities (absorbed very good French). Flashman often succeeds in spite of itself (and is first to admit), Gerard always successful, because it is the best sword fighter, the best driver, the greatest. . . . . . (Fill in the blank). The stories are worth reading for their wonderful description of life in the cavalry in the early nineteenth century and the romanticism of the period at the end of the century. Rating: 5.4
