Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "Souvenirs épars d'un ancien cavalier" by Tristan Bernard is a collection of humorous vignettes written in the early 20th century. The book is set during the protagonist's military service, where he reflects on his ineptitude as a cavalryman despite his aspirations to be a skilled horseman. The central character, Paul, experiences a blend of comical misadventures and absurdities related to horsemanship and military life. The opening of the work introduces Paul, an enthusiastic yet clumsy young man who has accidentally enlisted in the cavalry despite having no horse-riding experience. He grapples with the realities of military training, including his struggles to connect with his horse, Bretagne, and the absurdity of his experiences with fellow soldiers. As he navigates through humiliatingly amusing situations—such as misunderstandings with his horse and ineffectual attempts at equestrian exercises—Paul reflects on the gap between his initial notions of cavalry life and the stark reality. His cynicism and humor set the tone for a narrative that promises both wit and insight into the trials of military service.
