bibliophiles at auction. What can attract the sophisticated current reader another book about Napoleon, moreover, first published as far back as the XIX century? First of all - the absolute authenticity. Impartiality. Romantic attitude to his hero.

On the depth of historical understanding of great personalities in line with the "Unknown Napoleon" can be put, perhaps, only even more extensive work of Russian historian N. K. Shilder "Emperor Alexander I, his life and reign. Two great players on the European stage of the XIX century, two irreconcilable rivals, not once swearing, however, in mutual love, destined forever, like a double star, to shine in world history.
