The book by Armand Deyo, once published on vellum paper, with a gold edge, in an edition of 200 copies, is now not just a rare rarity, but an object of hunting for the rich
bibliophiles at auctions. How can another book about Napoleon, moreover, first published in the 600th century, attract the sophisticated reader of today? First of all - absolute reliability. Impartiality. A romantic attitude towards your hero. The main merit of Armand Deyo is that over the many years preceding the creation of his brilliant work, he was able to describe and present to the reader about XNUMX unique artistic relics - paintings, engravings, sculptures, household items, directly related to the name of the one whose ashes rest under vaults of the Cathedral in the Parisian Invalides. In terms of the depth of historical understanding of great personalities, perhaps only the even more extensive work of the Russian historian N. K. Schilder, “Emperor Alexander I, His Life and Reign,” can be put on par with “The Unknown Napoleon.” Two great players on the European stage of the XNUMXth century, two irreconcilable rivals who, however, more than once swore mutual love, are destined to shine forever like a double star in world history. The preface to this book was written by the famous historian, leading expert on the Napoleonic era, Evgeny Ponasenkov.
