Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Bonaparte The Publishers believe that in adding the Life of Napo 'eon Bonaparte to their biographical series, they are supplying a want that has long been felt by the public. Although several works have issued from the English press, in which the extraordinary career of Napoleon has been treated at great length, and although many disputed passages in his history have received the most minute and searching investigation, the Publishers are not acquainted with any volume which within a moderate compass and at a small price contains the essence of the researches of late years, and gives a fair and complete account of the life of the French soldier and statesman. The present work is intended to supply the deficiency. The re-establishment of the Napoleon dynasty in France served to increase the interest in the life and fortunes of the founder of this wonderful family. In these pages, it is hoped that a fitting memorial will be found of that hero who was once the terror of the nations, and whose deeds have since attracted the attention of the woild.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte The King of kings hung a dark cloud over his star of destiny, when the cruel blow fell on the exiled Wife, whose only crime was that heaven had written her to him childless. That cloud expanded till it darkened all the sky and bolt after bolt came down upon his lofty brow, and laid it low on a captive's pillow within the confines of a rocky island, Where, Prometheus-like, he was compelled to feel the wasting power of burning memories and awakened conscience, until death removed him to a more righteous adjudication.

Download or read book The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Vol I of IV written by William Milligan Sloane and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Vol. I. (of IV.) by William Milligan Sloane This life of Napoleon was first published in 1896 as a book: for the years 1895-96 it ran as a serial in the pages of the Century Magazine. Judging from the sales, it has been read by many tens if not hundreds of thousands of readers; and it has been extensively noticed in the critical journals of both worlds. Throughout these fourteen years the demand has been very large and steady, considering the size and cost of the volumes. Both publishers and author have determined therefore that a library edition was desired by the public, and in that confidence the book has been partly rewritten and entirely remade. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon, Vol. 1 The life OF napoleon buonaparte, my father's last, largest, and, upon the whole, greatest work, has been for some years out of print, but it is only recently that I have been able to trace the ownership of the copyright. This knowledge obtained, and the work having been placed at my entire disposal by the kind ness of the gentleman who held the property, it is with great gratification that I now issue a new edition of this important history, at a price which will place it within the means of thousands to whom its former cost rendered the purchase altogether impracticable. The great object of my ambition, the diffusion of my father's fame, is thus eminently promoted. My revi sion of the text has been, of course, limited to such corrections as occurred to me of names, dates, and figures, and even in these respects I have had very little to do.

Download or read book Napoleon the Little written by Victor Hugo and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Napoleon the Little" is a fascinating biographical analysis of the life and deeds of Napoleon III written by Victor Hugo. Napoleon I's nephew imposed censorship and harsh repressive measures against his opponents, and many people - including Victor Hugo - went into voluntary exile. Hugo wrote this book as an attempt to awaken his fellow citizens to the dangers they faced under the tyranny of Napoleon III. It is a fascinating insight into the life of France's longest-serving French head of state since the French Revolution and not to be missed by fans of Hugo's work. Contents include: "December 20, 1848", "Mission of the Representatives", "Notice of Expiration of Term", "Men Will Awaken", "Biography", "Portrait", "In Continuation of the Panegyrics", "The Constitution", "The Senate", et cetera. Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Légende des siècles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Misérables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Napoleon the First I have, therefore, subordinated everything to clearness and unity, and there are some aspects of the life which, to gain room, I have con sciously omitted altogether. For instance, no attempt is made here either to describe or to estimate N apoleon as a military commander. I do not write a soldier's history of him, and accordingly, though I endeavour to give the strategical outline of each campaign correctly, the battles will be found to be not only not described, but not even narrated they are merely registered.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Corsican Napoleon Bonaparte It is true in literature as it is in money that the truest capacity to detect the counterfeit is intimate, familiar knowledge of the genuine. It is not enough merely to know that there are works in our literature which have proven their immortal, classic quality, but equally as important to be able to name some or all of them. It is not enough even to be able to say that one has read them. They must be, so to speak, men tally absorbed. They must sink deep into and be assimilated by our intellectual life, and so become a part of our being. By just so much as any genera tion accomplishes this, and makes itself affectionately familiar with all that is possible of that literature which has crystallized into immortality; by just so much it has raised the plane on which the next generation must begin its career, and thus has contributed toward the uplifting evolution of humanity. These Golden Classics are meant to put the means of rising to this plane within easy reach; Opening a path which every aspiring reader may follow in full confidence that he will not be led astray.

De Las Casas states Napoleon to have said in May, 1816, on the manner of writing his history, corroborates the opi nion I have expressed. It proves that all the facts and observa tions he communicated or dictated were meant to serve as mate rials. We learn from the Memorial, that M. De Las Casas wrote daily, and that the manuscript was read over by Napoleon, who Often made corrections with his own hand. The idea. Of a journal pleased him greatly. He fancied it would be a work of which the world could afford no other example. But there are passages in which the order of events is deranged; in others, facts are misrepresented, and erroneous assertions are made, I apprehend, not altogether involuntarily.
