Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Real Martyr of St. Helena In this thrilling narrative of the Moscow campaign of 1812, Eugene Labaume says of Napoleon that he will be for historians the riddle of the human heart. But there is a greater enigma connected with his career, and that is the growth and persistency of the "Napoleonic Legend," which is based upon an imaginary Napoleon that has no foundation in fact; a Napoleon drawn by himself, without the least resemblance to the real man. This fancy portrait, limned at St. Helena, depicts him as brimful of benevolence; the representative of liberalism; the emancipator of enslaved peoples; the sworn foe of despots; the regenerator of Europe; who was perpetually ingeminating peace, but whose pacific aspirations were continually thwarted by the satanic machinations of the European Powers, prompted by the arch enemy of "enlightenment" - England.
