Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Papers Upon Men and Events of Rare Interest in the Napoleonic Epoch, Vol. 1 of 2 It has been said, with much truth, that the biography of Napoleon Bonaparte - "the most mighty breath of life that ever has animated the human clay," whose memory haunts humanity and ever will - is the history of Europe, of the world itself, for twenty years. "The shadow of Napoleon," says the eloquent historian, Sir Archibald Alison, "rises over the frontier of the old destroyed world, and the most distant posterity will gaze on that gigantic figure over the gulf into which entire ages have fallen, until the appointed day of social resurrection." The shining quarter of a century, from 1789 to 1815, so far surpasses in intense, dramatic interest any period in the world´s life, either before or since, that all other history becomes almost tame and dull, in comparison. Never before, or since, have human courage and passion, asserted in the cause of liberty, produced results so far-reaching, so elevating to mankind, as have followed the explosion of that gigantic social volcano - the French Revolution.
