Napoleon Biography

After his surrender to the Royal Navy, Napoleon became the object of massive English public interest.

This close study of Napoleon in captivity attempts to reconstruct an authentic portrait of the fallen emperor by examining contemporary documents and records of public opinion.

Depuis Louis XV, aucun chef d’état n’a gouverné aussi longuement la France que Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, président de la République de 1848 à 1852 et empereur de 1852 à 1870. Et pourtant, durant des décennies, il n’a guère eu les faveurs du public ni celles des historiens, rebutés par le coup d’état de décembre 1851 et par la défaite de 1870 contre la Prusse. Un tel passif explique pour une bonne part que le neveu de Napoléon Ier a été rejeté, moqué et détesté, tout en restant méconnu.

Spannend geschrieben ist dieser Bericht über die letzten Jahre des Kaisers der Franzosen. Die Biographie setzt ein mit der Abdankung Napoleons 1815 und seiner Verbannung auf die kleine Mittelmeerinsel Elba. Freilich: Die Autoren sind keine modernen Historiographen. Vielmehr wurden die Texte 1901 veröffentlicht, rund 30 Jahre nach der deutschen Reichsgründung und unter der Ägide des Kaisers Wilhelm II. Es dürfte reizvoll sein aufzuspüren, an welchen Stellen man das der Biographie anmerkt.
