Description

Adlibris: His dream cost millions of lives. His wars, his reforms and his decisions have influenced the people of the world right up to our time, but what kind of man was Napoleon really? Herman Lindqvist vividly tells the story of the poor Corsican boy who traveled to Paris to become a writer or scientist, and who, after the revolution, seized the opportunity and ended up crowning himself emperor.
