Features: New masterpiece, world-renowned, the most authoritative and comprehensive biography of Napoleon to date. For a long time, Napoleon has been subjected to envy and malicious words from scholars, the media, and politicians. He must be treated fairly like other historical figures. A full biography that encompasses all aspects of Napoleon's life and character, integrating all new research and historical archives, is desperately needed. To this end, I visited libraries and archives in Europe, Britain, and the United States, and embarked on an exhausting yet fascinating epic journey. There is no one in the world greater than him. — Winston Churchill
People don’t need to set aside a special day to commemorate Napoleon. With his sword and code, Napoleon became the pioneer of modern Europe. Napoleon is the father of Europe. — Jean Tournal
Napoleon was a world soul embodied on horseback. — Hegel
Even in his failed military campaigns, Napoleon was a great commander. — Engels
Napoleon was not conquered by the world; he was greater than all of us. But God punished him because he only trusted his own intellect. — Bernadotte
In a sense, Napoleon’s life was a tragedy. This tragedy moved people to tears, made them sigh endlessly, and even left them trembling with fear. — George Libby
Believe me, the heavens govern everything, and we are merely their tools. I may lose a battle, but I never waste a minute. One cannot have no enemies; those who are not resentful are nothing but mediocre people. — Napoleon
Despite all the slander, I am not the least concerned about my reputation. Future generations will pass judgment on me. My rise to power is unparalleled. I have participated in and directed as many as 50 battles, and I have won almost all of them. I compiled and implemented a code named after me, which made me famous for generations to come. I rose from nothing to become the most powerful monarch in the world. I once crushed Europe under my feet. The doors of opportunity and career are open to talented people, regardless of their birth or wealth.
Napoleon’s life embodies the transcendence of humanity. During his reign, he skillfully combined the spirit of freedom and democracy from the French Revolution with the interests of the bourgeoisie. His military campaigns and expansion had a profound impact on all of Europe and even the world. Napoleon was a product of his own fate, not the creator of his destiny. He was destined to fail, but also destined to live forever.
