Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Atheist's Mass, and Other Stories
Lo Colonel Chabert, which would well have deserved a place in those Scones do la Vie so scantily repre sented in the Come'dz'e, has other attractions. It reminds us of Balzac's sojourn in the tents of Themis, and of the knowledge that he brought therefrom; it gives an example of his affection for the {doe fixe, for the man with a mania; and it is also no inconsiderable example of his pathos.
