"What a novel my life has been," Napoleon once said. The son of a poor family became a general at the age of 26, and barely ten years later he was master of Europe. Monarchs trembled before him, the people hailed him as the herald of a new era. But the Corsican comet burns up as quickly as it has risen. After the celebrated bestsellers "1812" and "1815", Adam Zamoyski now presents another great work - the biography of the most famous general and ruler in the history of Europe.
With the sovereign expertise of a lifelong preoccupation, the born historical narrator Zamoyski takes us into an epoch that could not be more dramatic. He understands Napoleon in the context of the Enlightenment, describes the stages of this incredible life, illuminates characters and constellations with a sure hand. But at the same time, he knows inimitable ways how to entertain the reader and fill the story with life. His "Napoleon" is bursting with anecdotes and an opulent historical reading pleasure full of punchlines and sharp-eyed observations.
