«Napoléon» is the historical essay by Gérard Gengembre, published by Larousse in paperback (319 pages, in French).
The book follows Napoleon Bonaparte from his beginnings as a Corsican artillery captain to his coronation as emperor and, in its second part, analyzes his legend. It shows how the figure was inspired by Charlemagne, how Romanticism saw him as Prometheus and how cinema and the arts have turned him into a myth, with facets of hero, despot and living god.
Published in 2001, it is part of the La Vie Légende collection, which combines the historical portrait and the analysis of the legend of each figure.
It will appeal to readers of European history, the Napoleonic period and the construction of historical myths.
