Napoleon — this name became a household word during his lifetime. But as a historical figure, he started not even from zero, but from minus infinity. Having started to create his brand in France, he was not French by birth. His homeland — Corsica — became part of France literally a couple of months before Napoleon was born, and Corsica's relations with France were extremely complicated. The uniqueness of Napoleon's figure is that these Arcole bridges, banners, exploits, aphoristic phrases — they simply cannot be torn away from the real Napoleon...
This book is an attempt to show the Emperor of the French without embellishment, with all his shortcomings, weaknesses and complexes. In the end, he was a living person, not a deity, and a person is an abyss of weakness. How was the Arcole bridge actually taken? Who is the author of the "Napoleon Code"? Thanks to whom did Napoleon manage to seize power? Did he really die on St. Helena?
