Emil Ludwig napoleon

Ludwig was 45 and living in Germany when he published "Napoleon" in 1926, and the work was translated and published in the following year. The biography is divided into five books one, "The Island" (birth to marriage); two "The Torrent" (army of Italy to first counsel); Three, "The River" (Marengo to birth of Napoleon 11); four, "The Sea" (Russia to Waterloo); and Five, "The Rock" (St Helena) Each book begins with a quote from "Goethe". He has tried to write the inner history of Napoleon and has put minor attention to the battles and campaigns. Napoleon was a great artillerist with an inherited versatility and vigorous imagination he had a very strong family feelings. His rational reasoning, clannishness, cosmopolitan nature, intrigues plans demean our and venture work always inspired his men. The book has nicely brought out the complete biography of Napoleon in an exemplary manner. It has been felt that Napoleon would have achieved much more, had France supported him in his ploys.
