Servitude et grandeur militaires by Alfred de Vigny

"Servitude et grandeur militaires" by Alfred de Vigny is a three-part work published in 1835. Drawing on his own military experience, Vigny crafts interconnected stories that explore the tension between individual conscience and military duty. Through tales of officers haunted by orders they must obey, including tragic encounters with sealed death warrants and a boy soldier's killing, the work meditates on honor, submission, and moral responsibility in an age when military glory has faded into mere routine.
