Eso no estaba en mi libro de Napoleón

Was Napoleon as short as he is portrayed in the movies? To what extent was he obsessed with Egypt and its pyramids? Did he know that he made serious spelling mistakes throughout his life, but that, on the contrary, he had an innate talent for mathematics?. That his memory was prodigious and his eagerness to learn insatiable? That he was a compulsive reader, with a personal library of over thirty thousand volumes? Her love for Marie Walewska led him to think about marrying her, but politics would take precedence over love... The historical figure of Napoleon Bonaparte has indelibly marked not only the history of France, but universal history itself . Few characters have left such a deep mark on her, with her lights and shadows, with her successes and failures. And yet, and despite the rivers of ink that have been spilled around it, there are still unknown aspects to be explored, aspects that the most recent studies are helping us to decipher. This volume by Ernest Bendriss, a historian with a long and fruitful career, whose essential work has sought to bring the character closer to new generations, is located on that path; to strip him of the grave cloak of the equestrian statue to make the reader participate in his most intimate desires, in his deepest motivations. With this, it offers the reader a reading that is as exciting and entertaining as it is enlightening.
