«El coronel Chabert» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by Editorial Funambulista in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
A Napoleonic officer presumed dead at the Battle of Eylau survives and returns to Paris ten years later to reclaim his identity and fortune. He finds his wife married to another man and a society that prefers not to recognise him. Balzac composes a critique of justice, honour and memory in Restoration France.
This edition belongs to the Intempestivos collection from Editorial Funambulista, with a translation from the French by Juan Lacruz Bassols. The original work, Le Colonel Chabert, was published in 1836.
For readers of classic fiction and admirers of Balzac who want a short but intense story about identity and honour.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
