The Point Of Honor: A Military Tale by Joseph Conrad
QR code
"The Point Of Honor: A Military Tale" by Joseph Conrad is a work of short fiction first published in 1908. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, it follows two French cavalry officers—the mild-mannered d'Hubert and the fiery Feraud—whose chance encounter in Strasbourg sparks an obsessive sixteen-year rivalry. Through successive duels spanning bloody military campaigns, Feraud relentlessly pursues d'Hubert, transforming a trivial misunderstanding into a near-legendary conflict. This tale explores honor, egoism, and absurd
fate against the backdrop of Europe's monumental upheavals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
