Waterloo: A Sequel To The Conscript Of 1813, Translated From The French Of Erckmann-Chatrian This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.

Reviews

[Piero Alvarez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting novel about Napoleon's 'Hundred Days'. The main character, Joseph, recalls his experience as a conscript in Ligny and Waterloo. At this, Erckmann and Chatrian did a great job portraying the brutal reality of 19th century warfare.

Sadly, most of the story is just filler between the Bourbon restoration (heavily criticized by the authors) and Joseph's conscription to the L'Armée du Nordafter the return of the Emperor.

نیمه اول کتاب مشغول توصیف زندگی و دیدگاه مردم معمولی راجب اتفاقات بعد از انقلاب فرانسه و در ادامه بازگشت ناپلئون میشه.شروع خوب ولی آرومی داره نیمه دوم سربازان به سمت واترلو حرکت میکنن و جنگ شروع میشه به نظر من توصیف عالی جنگ از دیدگاه یک سرباز معمولیه و شمارو به فکر فرو میبره
در کل کتاب خوبی بود و اگه به موضوعش علاقه دارید حتما بخونید
