The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard
19.99 €
The greatest English writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is known worldwide as an unrivaled master of the detective and adventure genres. Many of the heroes born from his pen have achieved truly remarkable fame across the globe: detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson, the English knight Sir Nigel Loring, and the incomparable Professor Challenger...
Not the least of these is the charming braggart Étienne Gérard, a soldier in Napoleon's army who experienced truly incredible adventures. He was captured by bandits, accomplished numerous feats on the battlefield and behind British lines, and brilliantly carried out secret missions for Napoleon himself. Readers of these amazing stories will not only admire the Munchausen-like skill of the brave brigadier but also learn many interesting facts about the glorious era of the Napoleonic Wars.
This edition includes all the stories about Brigadier Gerard, as well as the novel "The Giant Shadow," part of Conan Doyle's so-called "Napoleonic Cycle." The book is accompanied by illustrations by English, American, and French artists of the early 20th century.
