The Adventures of Gerard (Large type / large print ed)

Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Gerard (1903) is an anthology of short stories about the heroics of a Hussar of the French army who lived from the 1780s to 1860s.

The strategies of war and the lives of soldier are romantically described, as is the vanity of the protagonist himself, who views himself as the most gallant man in France.
