Description
In 1859, Léon Renault comes back from Prussia, where he has made his fortune, to marry the young woman he loves: Clémentine Sambucco. Among the gifts he brings back with him, the strangest one is a perfectly preserved soldier from Napoleon’s army, who has been dead for 46 years. His name is Colonel Fougas. With the help of several scholars, he succeeds in restoring him to life. But who is this man? Why does he have a broken ear? Why, since seeing Colonel Fougas, is Clémentine refusing to marry Léon?
