Translated from the French by Leon Rogalski

A classic work on the Napoleonic era

Nice period half leather


Thiers' work did not so much become a part of the Napoleonic legend as a milestone of it. This was determined by several factors. Of great importance was the author's style: colorful, dynamic, skillfully sustaining the reader's attention, full of great literary tricks.(...) The success of the book, however, was determined primarily by the momentum of the undertaking and, quite simply, its theme as seen by this particular author and not another. Thiers put on the pages of his work what millions of Frenchmen felt: the memory of power and the dream of it, the longing for the days when the attention of all Europe was directed to Paris, and especially to the man who led France to the greatest successes in its history. Disasters were receding into the background.
