From the publishers:
Was Napoleon really that small? How many letters did he write? Does Napoleon's residence on the island of St Helena belong to France? Where does the term “Grande Armée” come from? Where are Napoléonville and Napoléon-Vendée located? Napoleon Bonaparte, who governed France for fifteen years, has left quite a mark on French and European history.
More than two hundred years after his rise to power, Napoleon Bonaparte – general, consul and emperor – remains to this day a constant source of interest and discussion, as much for his personality as for his achievements. The legend that surrounds him continues to fascinate historians and enthusiasts. 250 réponses à vos questions sur Napoléon Ier is a product of this passion and continuing fascination.
Chantal Prévot is the librarian at the Fondation Napoléon. The years spent working in such an environment have seen her consulted on a huge variety of enquiries, requests and questions, the fruits of which are published in this lively, informed and often unexpected volume.
