Brigadier Etienne Gerard - an officer of the Napoleonic army, an unsurpassed storyteller, an incorrigible braggart and joker - one of the most famous heroes of Arthur Conan Doyle. He now and then gets into all sorts of troubles, but with honor (as it seems to him) gets out of them thanks to his reckless courage. Disguise yourself as a monk and infiltrate a besieged city? Light a signal fire on top of a hill occupied by Spanish partisans? Go to Minsk to get food for the French soldiers? Perform another feat in the famous battle of Waterloo? Resourcefulness and fortitude, a saber, a pistol and a frisky horse will help you cope with any dangerous situation! The collection includes works that tell about the incredible adventures of Brigadier Gerard in Venice, Zaragoza, London and even in Minsk, as well as the stories "Behind Life", "Loving Heart", "Successes of Diplomacy" and others. Colorful illustrations by Kanat Kumekov perfectly convey the atmosphere of the book.
