Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Honour of the Army, and Other Stories The present volume contains a selection of M. Zola´s short stories, most of them written several years ago, and contributed to the pages of a Russian review. They show their author in a variety of moods, and, if some may seem sombre and tragic, the reader will find others of a very different kind, one indeed which is all joviality, whilst another is brimful of quiet humour. ´Le Capitaine Burle,´ here called ´The Honour of the Army,´ is, I think, the only story by M. Zola in which a duel is described. I cannot recall any example of the kind in any of the twenty volumes of the ´Rougon-Macquart´ series which otherwise so faithfully delineate French life in the days of the Second Empire; and the omission is a curious one, for duelling was quite as rife under Napoleon III. as it is under the present Republic. But for those who are interested in M. Zola´s personality more interest attaches to ´Le Capitaine Burle´ for another reason. It is a story of profligacy and dishonesty - peculation by a regimental officer - such a case, indeed, as unhappily arises from time to time in even the most rigidly regulated services.
