Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While other novelists center attention on the heroism and adventures of the Napoleonic era, Erkmann and Chatrian describe the ugly side of wars, directing our attention to the exhaustion and suffering of simple, peaceful people forced to sustain the well-being of the army. The mood of both stories is reflected in the opening words of "Waterloo:" "Everybody was tired of living like a bird on a branch and of risking their lives for matters which did not concern them." Yet, people's expectations didn't come true. The novel "Conscript" tells about the war in Moscow of 1813. The troops needed reinforcement, and it was provided with the conscript campaign of 1813. We learn about that time from a narrator, a watchmaker apprentice, who lived a peaceful life before being taken to the army. In those times, most people celebrated Napoleon's glory, and even the thoughts of the possible defeat seemed sinful. "A few old Republicans would shake their heads and mutter over their wine that the Emperor might yet fall, but they passed for fools," tells the narrator, whose life changes drastically. He is to face all the horrors of war and defeat, the infamous retreat, which is later followed by his surprise of the second campaign, which had even more disastrous consequences. The topic of the second novel in a bundle, "The Waterloo," is clear from the name itself, as it became a synonym of a disastrous defeat on the battlefield. Like in "Conscript," the main motive of the story is the suffering of peaceful people forced to go to war.

Download or read book Waterloo A sequel to The Conscript of 1813 written by Erckmann-Chatrian and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-04-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Waterloo" is a historical account of the Battle of Waterloo told through a fictional character Joseph, who is conscripted into the French army in 1813. It is the joint work of French authors Émile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian, a sequel to their earlier novel 'The Conscript of 1813'. What makes "Waterloo" even more interesting is the picture it presents of the state of affairs after the first Bourbon restoration. Its description of how gradually, but surely, the way was prepared by the missteps of the new régime for that eventual return to power of Napoleon which seems so dramatically sudden and unexpected to a superficial view of the events of the time. In this respect "Waterloo" deserves to rank very high as a chapter of familiar history, or at least of historical commentary.
