Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Shadow and Uncle Bernac For three years I lived among Napoleonic literature, with some hope that by soaking and resoaking myself in it I might at last be able to write some worthy book which would reproduce something of the glamour of that extraordinary and fascinating epoch. But my ambition was greater than my power. I sat at the end of my course amid volumes of notes, bewildered by the vastness of my subject, and unable to focus my information into a single narrative. The wildest dreams of fiction seemed so commonplace when contrasted with the absolute naked truth, that my heart and my fancy failed me. And so at last, after a long delay, my considerable preparation ended in one little book of soldier stories, The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard and this little tale of adventure which contains an impression of the emperor. I am well aware that the portrait is very much too large for its frame: but, at least, it is a true portrait so far as it goes, and as such may interest some reader who has not had the time or the opportunity to consult those volumes upon which it is founded.
