This book was released on 2023-11-19 with total page 1314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte is a biographical account based on years of intimate friendship and professional association of the author with Napoleon. Bourrienne, the author of this memoir met Bonaparte at the Military Academy at Brienne in Champagne when eight years old. His book gives a vivid, intimate, detailed account of his interactions with Napoleon and his mother, brothers and sisters, with his first wife Joséphine de Beauharnais and her children. His narrative is invigorated by many dialogues, not only of those in which he was a speaker but even of conversations that he only was told about by others. As an author, Bourrienne tired to put his friendship with Napoleon aside and to be balanced. He gives many examples of Napoleon's brilliance, his skill at governance, and his deft political maneuvers, while deploring his inexorable grabs for personal and familial power and wealth, his willingness to sacrifice French lives, and his abhorrence of a free press.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 4 of 4 Even now I am filled with astonishment, when I think Of the council that was held at the Tuileries on the 13th Of March. The ignorance of the members of that council respecting our situation, and their confidence in the useless measures they had adopted against Napoleon, exceed all conception. Will it be believed, that those great statesmen, who had the control Of the telegraph, the post-office, the police and its agents, money, in short, every thing which constitutes power, asked me to give them information respecting the advance of Bonaparte? What could I say to them? I could only repeat the reports which were circulated on the Exchange, and those which I had collected here and there, during the last twenty - four hours. I did not conceal that the danger was imminent, and that all their precau tions would be Of no avail. The question'then arose as to what course should be adopted by the king. It was impossible that the monarch could remain in the capital, and yet, where was he to go? One proposed that he should go to Bordeaux; another to La Vendee; and a third to Normandy; and a fourth member of the council was Of opinion that the king should be conducted' to Melun. I conceived that if a battle should take place any where, it would probably be in the neighbourhood Of that town; but the counsellor who madethis last suggestion, assured us that the presence Of the king, in an open carriage and eight horses.
