Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Enfant trouvé fasciné par la carrière des armes, Hyacinthe dit Chabert s'est illustré aux premiers rangs de la Grande Armée. Laissé pour mort à Eylau, puis miraculeusement sauvé, il tentera quelques années plus tard de retrouver sa place dans une France bourgeoise qui veut oublier ses héros, auprès d'une femme qui lui doit tout, qui l'a dépouillé et qui le rejette. Nul destin, peut-être, n'éclaire mieux que le sien l'envers de la " comédie humaine ", dans cette tragédie domestique doublée d'un drame social où le sublime côtoie constamment le sordide. " Nous n'oublierons jamais l'entrée pitoyable de Chabert à l'étude Derville éclairée au gaz le matin, avec le déjeuner, réchauffé sur la cheminée, des clercs, des clercs rieurs, insolents et clabaudeurs, Chabert avec ses rides blanches, son vieux carrick, Chabert méprisé, aliéné de cette patrie et de cette femme qu'il continue à aimer, dénoncé de cette société où, bien qu'enfant trouvé, il s'était, si difficilement, fait un nom... Chabert a sa place dans toutes les mémoires, à côté du cousin Pons et du père Goriot, et sur le même rang. Le Colonel Chabert, admirable histoire de revenant. Paul MORAND.
