Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "HULLO! There is that old Box-coat again!" This exclamation was made by a lawyer's clerk of the class called in French offices a gutter-jumper—a messenger in fact—who at this moment was eating a piece of dry bread with a hearty appetite. He pulled off a morsel of crumb to make into a bullet, and fired it gleefully through the open pane of the window against which he was leaning. The pellet, well aimed, rebounded almost as high as the window, after hitting the hat of a stranger who was crossing the courtyard of a house in the Rue Vivienne, where dwelt Maitre Derville, attorney-at-law. "Come, Simonnin, don't play tricks on people, or I will turn you out of doors. However poor a client may be, he is still a man, hang it all!" said the head clerk, pausing in the addition of a bill of costs. The lawyer's messenger is commonly, as was Simonnin, a lad of thirteen or fourteen, who, in every office, is under the special jurisdiction of the managing clerk, whose errands and billets-doux keep him employed on his way to carry writs to the bailiffs and petitions to the Courts. He is akin to the street boy in his habits, and to the pettifogger by fate. The boy is almost always ruthless, unbroken, unmanageable, a ribald rhymester, impudent, greedy, and idle. And yet, almost all these clerklings have an old mother lodging on some fifth floor with whom they share their pittance of thirty or forty francs a month. "If he is a man, why do you call him old Box-coat?" asked Simonnin, with the air of a schoolboy who has caught out his master. And he went on eating his bread and cheese, leaning his shoulder against the window jamb; for he rested standing like a cab-horse, one of his legs raised and propped against the other, on the toe of his shoe. "What trick can we play that cove?" said the third clerk, whose name was Godeschal, in a low voice, pausing in the middle of a discourse he was extemporizing in an appeal engrossed by the fourth clerk, of which copies were being made by two neophytes from the provinces.
