Publisher's Synopsis
The Memoirs of Napoleon, V7, 1804 is a historical book written by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne. The book is part of a series of memoirs that detail the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most significant figures in European history. This particular volume focuses on the year 1804, a crucial period in Napoleon's rise to power. The book provides an in-depth account of Napoleon's activities during this year, including his coronation as Emperor of France and his efforts to consolidate his power and establish a new order in Europe. It also covers his military campaigns and strategic decisions, as well as his personal relationships and interactions with other historical figures.Through Bourrienne's vivid and engaging writing style, readers are transported back in time to witness the events of 1804 as if they were happening in real-time. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the mind and motivations of one of the most complex and influential figures in history, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics, military strategy, and cultural context of the early 19th century.The truth is, the tide of opinion never set in with such force against Bonaparte as during the trial of Moreau; nor was the popular sentiment in error on the subject of the death of Pichegru, who was clearly strangled in the Temple by secret agents. The authors, the actors, and the witnesses of the horrible prison scenes of the period are the only persons capable of removing the doubtsThis scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
