Curated from a vast array of historical literature, it focuses on Napoleon's personal thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on his life and career.

Spanning from his days as a young Corsican soldier to his final years in exile, this collection aims to unveil the complexity of Napoleon's inner world. From triumph to defeat, joy to despair, confidence to doubt, Napoleon's candid reflections reveal a man both flawed and brilliant.
