About this listen

 Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Point of Honor tells the gripping tale of two French Hussar officers, DHubert and Feraud. What begins as a minor dispute over honor spirals into a relentless and bitter rivalry that spans fifteen years. Initially, it is Feraud who fiercely defends his honor, relentlessly pursuing DHubert for a duel after their first encounter ends without resolution. However, as the years pass, DHubert finds himself ensnared in this escalating conflict, unable to retreat from the challenge. Inspired by the real-life duels of two Hussar officers named Dupont and Fournier, Joseph Conrad masterfully explores themes of honor and obsession. This compelling narrative was also adapted into the acclaimed 1977 film The Duellists, featuring performances by Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel.
