by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

THE ADVENTURES OF GERARD is the fourth in Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Napoleonic' series of works featuring befuddled French hero Etienne Gerard. Gerard is a vain French hussar serving with Napoleon's army who is completely convinced he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, and best lover in all of France. His utter confidence in his abilities provide a humorous reaffirmation of French stereotypes.
