Napoleon

Napoleon — this name became a household name even during his lifetime. But as a historical figure, he started not just from zero, but from minus infinity. Starting to create his brand in France, he was not French by birth.... His homeland — Corsica — became part of France literally a few months before Napoleon's birth, and the relationship between Corsica and France was extremely complex. The uniqueness of Napoleon's figure lies in the fact that these Arcole bridges, banners, feats, and aphoristic phrases — they simply cannot be separated from the real Napoleon... The true book is an attempt to show the emperor of the French as he was, with all his flaws, weaknesses, and complexes. After all, he was a living person, not a deity, and a person is a bottomless abyss of weakness. How was the Arcole Bridge actually taken? Who is the author of the Napoleonic Code? Thanks to whom did Napoleon manage to seize power? Did he really die on the island of Saint Helena?
