Erckmann-Chatrian est le nom sous lequel signaient deux ecrivains francais: Emile Erckmann (1822-1899), ne a Phalsbourg et Alexandre Chatrian (1826-1890), ne a Abreschviller. Dans leur oeuvre, le realisme rustique, influence par les conteurs de la Foret-Noire, se transfigure en une sorte d epopee populaire. Au printemps 1847, Erckmann fit la connaissance de Chatrian, alors maitre d etude au college de Phalsbourg. Ils devinrent amis et passerent leurs vacances d ete ensemble. Pendant un sejour a Paris, Erckmann fut temoin de la Revolution de 1848. Tres inspire, il fonda un club avec Chatrian a Phalsbourg et dirigea un journal a Strasbourg, qui ne dura pas longtemps. Au debut des annees 1850 ils publierent quelques feuilletons dans Le Democrate du Rhin, en s attendant a une gloire litteraire rapide, mais apres quelques annees ce fut la disillusion. La reconnaissance arriva enfin vers 1859: les publications se succederent et ils commencerent a etre connus sous le pseudonyme Erckmann-Chatrian. A l epoque, leur registre etait deja dans les nouvelles et les contes fantastiques. Ils s installent tous deux a Paris, pres de la gare de l Est et reviennent regulierement en Lorraine.
The Conscript: A Story Of The French War Of 1813 (Translated From The French Of Erckmann-Chatrian) This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.
