This is Volume 1 of a four volume setThis 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 insights, both personal and professional, into the life and mind of a titan in world history.Louis Antonine Fauvelet de Bourrienne was the private secretary and boyhood friend to General Napoleon Bonaporte. With copious materials, he has produced a work which, for deep interest, excitement and amusement, can scarcely be paralleled by any of the numerous and excellent memoirs for which the literature of France is so justly celebrated.
