Сравнить цены на книгу: The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard; Книга по Требованию, 2007

Etienne Gerard is a hero of the French army, a veteran of the Napoleonic wars, and a vain and boastful teller of tales that star himself and his exploits. This collection of satiric short stories, originally published in The Strand magazine in the 1890s, includes:

- "How the Brigadier came to the Castle of Gloom"

- "How the Brigadier slew the brothers of Ajaccio"

- "How the Brigadier held the King"

- "How the King held the Brigadier"

- "How the Brigadier took the field against the

Marshal Millefleurs"

- "How the Brigadier played for a kingdom"

- "How the Brigadier won his Medal"

- "How the Brigadier was tempted by the Devil"

Hard to find in print, these lost comic classics from the creator of Sherlock Holmes will delight fans of pulp literature.
