A l'occasion du bicentenaire Napoléon 1821-2021, nous avons le plaisir de rééditer pour la première fois depuis sa parution originale en 1913, trente lettres composant un recueil épistolaire rare et peu connu des spécialistes de Napoléon, connu sous le titre de ""Tendresses impériales"". Ces courriers retracent l'amour naissant entre le jeune Bonaparte, alors encore général, et la future impératrice Joséphine.
Když byl Napoleon po bitvě u Waterloo v roce 1815 internován na vzdáleném ostrově Svatá Helena, doprovázel ho mimo jiné věrný hrabě de Las Cases. Po celou dobu svého pobytu na ostrově zaznamenával do deníku Napoleonovy vzpomínky, úvahy a myšlenky. Padlý císař se hodně soustředil na „poslední dějství“ svého životního dramatu – útěk z Elby, závěrečných „sto dnů“ svého panování a osudnou bitvu –, ale věnoval se i šťastnějším dobám své dráhy, literatuře, dějinám a dalším tématům. A protože je kniha psána živým, kultivovaným jazykem, zdaleka není jen historickým dokumentem, ale patří do klasické francouzské literatury stejně jako další proslulé memoáry. Český překlad byl pořízen jako první s přihlédnutím k novému francouzskému vydání podle původního rukopisu, objeveného teprve v nedávné době. Přeložil, úvodní studii napsal a poznámkami opatřil Aleš Pohorský.

Remember the wonderfully romantic book of letters by Beethoven, Byron and Napoleon that featured in the Sex and the City film? That collection never actually existed, but all of the letters referenced in the film were real; so Macmillan decided to create Love Letters of Great Men...From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve); for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here - as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.

Napoleon's attempt to conquer Egypt in 1798 was a mad dream, a fiasco, but it gave rise to a new science: Egyptology. The 3000 illustrations brought back from the expedition were published by order of the Emperor. They constitute invaluable testimony and we have reproduced them in full.
Das Leben Napoleons I., Kaiser der Franzosen, in Dokumenten aus eigener Hand.Von früheren Briefen, über Reden, Tagebücher und Schriften bis zu Proklamationen spannt sich der Bogen dieses Bandes, der zu den unmittelbarsten authentischsten und spannendsten Veröffentlichungen der gesamten Napoleonliteratur gehört.
Della vita avventurosa di Napoleone Bonaparte e del suo temperamento sappiamo ormai quasi tutto, sebbene resti ancora da scoprire qualcosa di più sull'uomo Napoleone Bonaparte. Non particolarmente vicino alle 'belles lettres', Napoleone ci ha lasciato una serie di brevi pensieri morali, aforismi politici e massime sulla guerra, riunite in questo volume. Si tratta di una raccolta di riflessioni personali, scritte in momenti diversi e talvolta in piena contraddizione tra loro, che si rivelano uno strumento di analisi interessante e utile al fine di individuare tratti della personalità e delle idee di Napoleone.
This is an illustrated "autobiography" of the Emperor Napoleon compiled from his commentaries and memoirs dictated on St Helena, edited and put into chronological order. The text spans his childhood in Corsica to exile on St Helena and covers family feuds, divorce from Josephine, retreat from Moscow, Waterloo and more - all in his own words. Napoleon was in inveterate writer, he dictated obsessively and edited his own scripts. He was also very aware of his position as one of history's great leaders. The book should be useful to military enthusiasts, historians and writers.
Una grande mentalità di imprenditore, una acuta conoscenza della psiche umana, un sapiente uso delle tecniche di comunicazione, una lungimirante capacità di premiare il merito: grazie a queste qualità Napoleone ha saputo stravolgere le regole che governavano Stati, truppe e uomini, costruendo un impero di tale potenza che poté essere abbattuto solo dagli sforzi disperati e prolungati di tutta Europa. In questo libro, da regalare a tutti gli «apprendisti capi» del mondo, sono raccolti i pensieri, i consigli, gli ordini, i giudizi, che Napoleone ha dedicato alla difficile arte di comandare, di condurre forze militari, di governare una nazione, delineando, con uno stile cinico degno di Machiavelli, le caratteristiche principali che ogni capo dovrebbe possedere per poter davvero guidare un Paese, un esercito, un'azienda. Pagina dopo pagina, il genio napoleonico dimostra ancora oggi la grandezza e la lungimiranza dei suoi insegnamenti che, nati in un'epoca di forti sconvolgimenti politici e sociali, mantengono tutta la loro «tragica» attualità. «Non si può guidare un popolo se non gli si mostra un avvenire». «Un capo che non presta attenzione alle necessità dei suoi uomini non dovrebbe comandarli». «Non è difficile scegliere gli uomini, ma dare a quelli che abbiamo scelto tutto il valore che meritano».
