About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Colonel Chabert by Honoré de Balzac. (Translated by Clara Bell; Ellen Marriage.) Read in English by Nicole Lee Colonel Chabert is a soldier, who goes missing during the Napoleonic wars, and then returns from the dead, most inconveniently for his wife, who has remarried and has gone up in the world.
