The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard

The greatest English writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known around the world as an unparalleled master of detective and adventure genres. Many characters born from his pen have gained truly grand fame across the planet: there is the detective Sherlock Holmes with his faithful companion Dr. Watson, the English knight Sir Nigel Loring, and the incomparable Professor Challenger...
Not least among them is the charming braggart Étienne Gerard, a soldier of the Napoleonic army, who has experienced truly incredible adventures. He was captured by bandits, performed numerous feats on the battlefield and in the rear of the English, and brilliantly executed secret missions from Napoleon himself. Readers of these amazing stories will not only admire the Münchhausen-like resourcefulness of the brave brigadier but also learn many interesting facts about the glorious era of the Napoleonic Wars.
This edition includes all stories about Brigadier Gerard, as well as the novel "The Bully" which is part of the so-called "Napoleonic Cycle" by Conan Doyle. The book is accompanied by illustrations from English, American, and French artists of the early 20th century.
