Reader comments

In the past, I only had a superficial understanding of Napoleon on the Internet, but now I have a clear understanding of him. No one is perfect, and although he failed on the battlefield, his efforts were not in vain.

This book tells the great and legendary life of Napoleon, the First French Empire. Napoleon Bonaparte was a great French military strategist and statesman in the 19th century and the founder of the First French Empire. During his reign, he promulgated the Napoleonic Code and enabled France to gain dominance on the European continent through the Napoleonic Wars. After the defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he was exiled. Regarding this exile, Hugo commented: "Failure makes the loser more noble. The fallen Bonaparte seems to be taller than the standing Napoleon. Of course he has stains, oversights, and even sins, that is to say, he is a human being; but he is still dignified in the oversights, outstanding in the stains, and talented in the sins."
