L'histoire commence dans une etude d'avoue ou six clercs font des plaisanteries pendant qu'ils travaillent. Puis arrive un vieil homme: tous se moquent de lui, car il porte des vetements tres anciens. Le vieil homme dit qu'il doit parler avec le patron de l'etude, Maitre Derville. Les clercs lui disent que Maitre Derville ne voit ses clients qu'a minuit. En reponse a la question d'un saute-ruisseau, le vieil homme, avant de sortir, declare etre le Colonel Chabert, mort a la bataille d'Eylau. Le Colonel Chabert revient la nuit au bureau de Me. Derville, et l'avoue lui accorde une entrevue. Chabert raconte alors son histoire

I‘ve never read Balzac, and now is as good a time as any. This was only nine issues on @SerialReader and quite good. Colonel Chabert was thought to have died in battle, so when he shows up years later to find his wife has liquidated all his assets and remarried, trouble ensues. There‘s a lot wrapped up in this little novella.

BarbaraBB I am amazed that you turn to Balzac to get out of your reading slump but I am so glad if it does the job 😂😘 4y
Reviewsbylola Well tbf I started it last weekend before my slump really kicked in, plus it seems a bit easier to pick up serials in a sump because it‘s already divided up for you so your obligation is low. 😂 @BarbaraBB 4y
