About this book

St Petersburg, around 1801, in the last days of Emperor Paul I: a crowd collects outside the house of General Count Tchermayloff, where the general's serf barber is to be punished with the knout, and a young aide-de-camp in a decorated uniform comes out onto the steps to watch. The scene opens a short narrative by Dumas.

It comes from his Celebrated Crimes series, in the eight-volume set of 1910.
