Sinopse

Walter Schnaffs' Adventure, published in 1883, is a poignant tale that captures the essence of a Prussian soldier's struggle with the realities of war and his desire for peace. The story begins with Schnaffs, a stout and peaceful man, who finds himself in enemy territory during the Franco-Prussian War. His fear of battle and his longing for his family lead him to a desperate decision to surrender to the French forces. Despite his fear of being captured, Schnaffs decides to surrender to an unarmed villager, only to find himself as a prisoner in a French mansion. The story highlights the duality of Schnaffs' character, as he is both a pacifist and a soldier, and his journey reflects the broader themes of war, human nature, and the consequences of conflict. 
 
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (August 5, 1850 - July 6, 1893) was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story, as well as a representative of the naturalist school, depicting human lives, destinies and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
