Honoré de Balzac
Colonel Chabert
(Le colonel Chabert)
Translated by Ellen Marriage and Clara Bell
A story of about 24,900 words.
A former Napoleonic colonel returns to Paris after some years recovering from his wounds, only to find that he has been declared dead, that his wife has remarried, and claims that he is an impostor.
I have checked the PG text and restored accents and italics, also corrected some errors.
