Few historical figures continue to cast such a spell on us today as Napoleon has done for over 200 years. Thomas Schuler follows the Corsican's footsteps through Europe and takes his readers on a fascinating journey through time. If you look closely enough, many doors still open in our present day through which you can catch a glimpse of Napoleonic times. Who would have thought, for example, that Napoleon's favourite chocolatier in Paris still makes his confectionery according to the recipes of the time?
The historian and journalist Thomas Schuler has travelled to places that are closely interwoven with Napoleon's history. He has hiked across the Great St. Bernard, visited Moscow, Paris, Berlin, London and Venice, and inspected major battlefields such as Waterloo, Kaub, the Beresina or Regensburg - his book is a journey into Napoleon's time, peppered with surprising observations and entertaining stories.
