<p>Colonel Chabert marries Rose Chapotel, a prostitute. Colonel Chabert then becomes a French <a href="Cavalry" title="Cavalry">cavalry</a> <a href="Military_officer" class="mw-redirect" title="Military officer">officer</a> who is held in high esteem by <a href="Napoleon_Bonaparte" class="mw-redirect" title="Napoleon Bonaparte">Napoleon Bonaparte</a>. After being severely wounded in the <a href="Battle_of_Eylau" title="Battle of Eylau">Battle of Eylau</a> (1807), Chabert is recorded as dead and buried with other French casualties. However, he survives and after extricating himself from his own grave is nursed back to health by local peasants. It takes several years for him to recover. Returning to Paris, he discovers his widow has married the social climber Count Ferraud and has liquidated all of Chabert's belongings. Seeking to regain his name and money that were wrongly given away as inheritance, he hires Derville, a lawyer, to win back his money and his honour. Derville, who also represents the Countess Ferraud, warns Chabert against accepting a settlement bribe from the Countess. In the end, Chabert walks away empty-handed and spends the rest of his days in an asylum.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Themes">Themes</h2></div>
<p>In <i>Le Colonel Chabert</i> Balzac juxtaposes two world-views: the Napoleonic value-system, founded on honour and military valour; and that of the <a href="Bourbon_Restoration_in_France" title="Bourbon Restoration in France">Restoration</a>. Chabert was not killed at the Battle of Eylau, though it was thought that he was. He struggles back to life, but cannot reclaim his identity. His "widow", who is actually his wife, and who fittingly was a prostitute in her early adult years, is now the Comtesse Ferraud, married (or so it would seem) to an important Restoration nobleman and politician. She repudiates her "former" husband (just as Ferraud, in changed political circumstances, would now be happy to repudiate her). All that matters in the modern era is social rank based upon the possession of money, especially inherited wealth.
</p><p>This theme of the trenchant purity of the military way of life is something to which Balzac returns in <i><a href="La_Rabouilleuse" title="La Rabouilleuse">La Rabouilleuse</a></i>, but there the subject is treated quite differently.
