Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Library of Historic Characters and Famous Events: Of All Nations and All Ages Napoleon is the most prominent and best known character of the modern world. He is the complete embodiment of those qualities and tendencies which are still at work in promoting the progress of civilization. Above this representative character he adds that rude, aggressive, personal force which seems rather to belong to the early stages of emergence of any people from barbarism. He sprang from barbarous Corsica, but speedily became the accepted leader of enlightened France. He was born in an obscure rank of outcast society, and by innate genius became master of the proudest nation of Europe and almost sovereign of the civilized world. Hike Alexander of the ancient world, he did not merely conquer and destroy, he gave a new impulse to civilization, he promoted arts and sciences, he established a new order which has survived his personal destiny. His career is the key-note of the nineteenth century. Napoleon Bonaparte was born at Ajaccio, in the island of Corsica, on the 5th of February, 1768. He afterwards gave out that he was born on the 15th of August, 1769, being his saint´s day, and that is usually considered as the date of his nativity; but that the former is the real date is proved in the most authentic way by the attestation of himself, his brother Joseph, and other principal members of his family, on the occasion of his marriage with Josephine, in 1795, which still exists in the Parish register in Paris, where the marriage was solemnized.
