Omschrijving

The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 15, 1815 is a historical book written by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne. This book is a part of a larger series of memoirs that detail the life and career of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most famous military commanders and political leaders in history. Volume 15 specifically focuses on the year 1815, which was a tumultuous time for Napoleon. After escaping from exile on the island of Elba, he returned to France and attempted to regain power. The book chronicles his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and his subsequent exile to the island of Saint Helena. The author, Bourrienne, was a close friend and confidant of Napoleon, having served as his private secretary for many years. As such, the book provides a firsthand account of many of the events and conversations that took place during this period. Overall, The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 15, 1815 is a fascinating look at one of the most important periods in European history, as well as an intimate portrait of one of its most complex and controversial figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.But for them, but for their bad conduct, their insatiable exactions, but for the humiliation that was felt at seeing foreign cannon planted in the streets of Paris, and beneath the very windows of the Palace, the days which followed the 8th of July might have been considered by the Royal Family as the season of a festival. Every day people thronged to the garden of the Tuileries, and expressed their joy by singing and dancing under the King's windows.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
