Louis Antonine Fauve De Bourrienne Knihy

This is Volume 2 of a four volume set This incredible set begins with Napoleon's birth in Corsica in 1769 and ends with his entombment in the Invalides in Paris in 1840, further set off by an additional section back of Volume IV, Napoleon's Will. (And, no, he didn't leave it all to Josephine. They divorced in 1809. Four months later, he married Archduchess Marie Louise. She didn't get anything either.) That aside, these four illustrated volumes include chronologies, text, letters, and many many insights, both personal and professional, into the life and mind of a titan in world history.

This book is a personal account of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte written by his friend and private secretary, de Bourrienne.
