About the perform…

The novel is ready through the Napoleonic Wars, a horrible and engaging time. But greater than a historic novel, we are able to qualify it as an anti-historical novel. For ConradNapoleon fights in opposition to all of Europe greater than for a logical purpose as a matter of pure delight. Does this sound acquainted to us within the present second we dwell in?

Conrad narrates the non-public confrontation of two Napoleonic hussars who’re decided to kill one another in a completely insane means and who pursue one another for twenty years to attain their aim, even though they belong to the identical military. All of Europe finally ends up turning into the scene of the non-public drama of those two hussars and which continues in time till Waterloo.
