Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The True Visage of Napoleon Napoleon has caused his name to ring unto the uttermost parts of the earth. Does that mean however that we know him as he really was? No, for our ideas regarding him are full of incoherencies. The Man of Brumaire, the Tyrant, the Drinker of blood, the Corsican Ogre, Antechrist? - Or the Poet of Action, the Professor of Energy, an iota all ablaze with glory, the face of God in the darkness, the Beggar of the Infinite, the Image of Him who is to come, the Messiah...? In this mystery fraught with confusion, it has at any rate generally been thought that Napoleon must have been a very curious personage... that the tiniest relics left of him had therefore a special value... that every sneeze he gave should be counted and handed down to posterity. And yet he was lost in the midst of his family, his brothers, his sisters, a countless band, to whom he threw crowns, and chateaux, and millions, who, never satiated, abandoned and betrayed him; - a husband whose wife was faithless to him and a brother sold by his brethren: a poor career indeed. Or Napoleon a lover! - No! He had no time for that! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
