Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Strongest: Les Plus Fort Henri Lepastre, Marquis de Puymaufray, led the great rout of the last years of the Second Empire brilliantly. His duels, his adventures in gallantry, made him famous at Longchamps, in the châteaux, at the theatres. They were very jolly days, as one of the heroes of the occasion said, and Henri de Puymaufray was at the height of the carnival of folly. When the outraged virtue of the sentimental Germans broke up the carnival with shell fire Henri de Puymaufray went to the front as dashingly as to a rendezvous, returned with his arm in a sling, and refused to be consoled. He said that his generation had done too much evil to take pride in the common courage of resisting the invader. "Of course I am a hero," he replied whenever people tried to flatter him, "but I am a hero of a defeat. Ribbons, and pieces in the paper, and the whole parade that goes with them will not console me for my country´s loss - for which we are to blame. What is the slash of a bayonet compared with other wounds that will never close over? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
