Colonel Chabert is a novel by French writer Honoré de Balzac, published in 1832. The story follows Colonel Chabert, a Napoleonic war hero who is presumed dead at the Battle of Eylau. Years later, he returns to Paris to reclaim his identity and fortune, only to face the betrayal of his wife and the machinations of Parisian society. The novel explores themes of identity, justice, and the disillusionment of war heroes in a world that has forgotten them.
