Book Reviews of Le Colonel Chabert
Book Review: A scathing look at post-Napoleonic French society.
Summary: 5 Stars
This novella focuses on the quixotic journey of Colonel Chabert, a remnant of a society long since gone. Ambition, driven by the intense pursuit of money, is the currency of the new bourgeoise society. Honor is a thing of the past. "The only thing the poor can do is love," Chabert says at one point and it might be too much of a truism, but having seen the corruption of the world around him, maybe it is so. Colonel Chabert has travelled the heart of darkness that is 19th Century France.
