This is the first book I read about Napoleon there are three or four years. He inflamed, gave me the passion of the Empire, since many others have succeeded in my hands, few people are crying. "What a novel my life" he had Napoleon to St. Helena, and this novel is written with the pen of Max Gallo. It makes us attach ourselves to the character increasingly admire his genius and extraordinary, that its status Corsican small, becomes Emperor of European Kings in work, perseverance, and a absolute belief in his star that it must be said, with such a fate, was actually well then above his head. Its fall and ascension are supernatural order, and that Max Gallo managed to recreate us. His Napoleon in 4 volumes remains one of the most beautiful I had to read, and I read it again, to remind myself of those rare feelings of being faced with the greatness of a man. Three years later my living room is a temple dedicated to the Emperor and I participated in reenactments Farewell to the Old Guard of Fontainebleau. What an adventure it was! Everything started from there, by the pen of Max Gallo who has the talent to convey love and do perceive the greatness of the Emperor.
