Before you is one of the most famous works about Napoleon Bonaparte. The author is the greatest French writer, one of the most widely read in the world.
Stendhal was not only a contemporary of Napoleon, not only an eyewitness to his actions, but also, for several years, an employee of his military administration and a participant in his campaigns. He participated in Napoleon I's Italian, Austrian, Prussian, and Russian campaigns, witnessed the Battle of Borodino and the burning of Moscow, and the French Emperor's flight from the Berezina River.

"Love for Napoleon," wrote Stendhal, "is the only passion remaining in me, but this in no way prevents me from seeing the shortcomings of his mind and the pitiful weaknesses that can be held against him."

The uniqueness of this edition also lies in the fact that it is filled with magnificent engravings created by outstanding French battle artists of the 19th century, Auguste Raffet and Horace Vernet, previously unknown to the Russian-speaking reader.
