Flashman

This novel, the first in the Flashman series, chronicles the life of Harry Flashman, a character originally from Thomas Hughes's *Tom Brown's School Days*.

It follows Flashman's journey from his expulsion from Rugby School to his military career, where he becomes embroiled in significant historical events despite his cowardly nature.

The book blends historical accuracy with humor, as Flashman navigates through Scotland, India, and Afghanistan, often finding himself in the midst of major conflicts.
