Tutto è ancora da fare

by Napoléon Bonaparte

Per tappe emblematiche e con parole inedite prende vita in questi scritti l'esistenza indomabile di Napoleone, vibrante di desiderio d'affermazione di sé e del diritto dei popoli alla giustizia e alla felicità. L'entusiasmo civile del propagatore della Rivoluzione e la retorica versatile, contagiosa del generale e del politico fanno riscoprire la vera gloria dell'uomo le cui ambizioni cambiarono le speranze d'Europa.

About the author

Napoleon I, originally Napoleon Bonaparte and known as "the Little Corporal," a brilliant strategist, overthrew the directory in 1799 and was proclaimed first consul and later Emperor of the French and king of Italy from 1804. His military and political might gripped Continental Europe, but after a disastrous campaign in Russia in winter 1812, he was forced to abdicate in 1814. Exiled to the island of Elba, he escaped and briefly regained power before ultimately being defeated at Waterloo in 1815. He was then exiled to Saint Helena, where he died of cancer in 1821.

Trained in mainland as an artillery officer, he rose to prominence as a general of the revolution and led several successes against the arrayed coalitions. In late 1799, Napoleon staged a coup d'état and installed for five years. In the decade of the 19th century, he turned the armies and dominated almost everyone through extensive alliance systems and a lengthy streak of major victories, epitomized through battles, such as Austerlitz and Friedland. He appointed close friends and several members of his family as monarchs and important government figures of dominated states.

Napoleon developed relatively few innovations, although virtually all large modern armies accept his doctrines that placed artillery into batteries and elevated the corps as the standard unit. From a variety of sources, he drew his best tactics, and he scored several major victories with a modernized army. Academies over the world study this widely regarded greatest commander of history. Aside from achievements, people also remember Napoleon for the establishment that laid the bureaucratic foundations for the modern state.

“Se il popolo di Roma avesse fatto della propria forza lo stesso uso del popolo francese, le aquile romane si librerebbero ancora sul Campidoglio, e la specie umana non sarebbe stata disonorata da diciotto secoli di schiavitù e tirannia.”

[Nicole Olindo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Napoleone è un grande, non ho altro da dire. Sebbene tiranno, sebbene umano è capace di sbagliare, ha sempre cercato di agire per il bene di tutti e di tutto.
