| Summary | "Le 13e Hussards, types, profils, esquisses et croquis militaires... à pied et …" by Émile Gaboriau is a military-themed narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Gédéon Flambert, a somewhat reluctant new recruit who finds himself serving in the 13th Hussards, a cavalry regiment. Through humor and detailed observations, the text delves into military rituals, the absurdities of soldiering, and the bond between soldiers and their horses. The opening of the book introduces Gédéon Flambert, who reflects on the servile nature of his service, primarily focused on the demanding care of his horse. He realizes that he has joined the army almost by accident, under the misguided belief that it would lead to a glorious service to his country, only to find himself devoted to the whims of his horse. As Gédéon navigates the challenges of military life, including strict discipline and the seemingly frivolous customs of the regiment, the narrative foreshadows a journey filled with comedic situations and insight into a soldier's reality.
