Colonel Chabert
by Honore de Balzac
Publisher: Feedbooks 1832
ISBN/ASIN: 0811213595
Description:
In this novel Balzac juxtaposes two world-views: the Napoleonic value-system, founded on honour and military valour; and that of the Restoration. All that matters in the modern era is social rank based upon the possession of money, especially inherited wealth.
