"If ever there was a time when I felt that 'watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet' stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman."–P.G. Wodehouse The first novel in the Flashman series Fraser revives Flashman, a caddish bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, and relates Flashman’s adventures after he is expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby school in the late 1830s. Flashy enlists in the Eleventh Light Dragoons and is promptly sent to India and Afghanistan, where despite his consistently cowardly behavior he always manages to come out on top. Flashman is an incorrigible anti-hero for the ages. This humorous adventure book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, military fiction, and British history as well as to fans of Clive Cussler, James Bond, and The Three Musketeers.

Cet auteur est célèbre pour sa série de romans historiques, présentés comme les mémoires prétendument écrits par Harry Flashman. Flashman, initialement conçu comme un lâche et un tyran, revient sur ses journées d'aventures en tant que héros de l'armée britannique au XIXe siècle. Les romans sont loués pour leur précision historique méticuleuse et une voix narrative distinctive qui a captivé les critiques littéraires. Ces œuvres offrent une perspective unique sur l'histoire à travers un protagoniste dont les motivations sont souvent loin d'être héroïques.
