The final volume of a three volume special edition of this famous
memoir
Students interested in the age of Napoleon are aware of the
writings of the diplomat, Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne, the
author of these substantial and celebrated memoirs. Bourrienne's
texts have frequently been published in multi-volume editions in
abridged and unabridged form. This Leonaur edition offers the
entire work, unabridged, in an accessible three volumes, to enable
students of the period to own Bourrienne's work at a reasonable
cost. All personal memoirs suffer from a subjectivity that tends to
portray the author in a good light and often gloss over his worst
qualities while seeking to deny or justify less admirable actions.
In this Bourrienne's work is no exception, for despite the book's
title Bourrienne's activities feature prominently and many critics
have focussed upon this aspect of his work. Nevertheless,
Bourrienne knew Napoleon from the earliest days when they were
students together. As young men they saw the rise of Revolutionary
France and Bourrienne continued to be a close member of Napoleon's
court during his meteoric acquisition of power. Bourrienne's
knowledge of Napoleon throughout the greater part of his career is
virtually without parallel and it is for this reason that these
books are essential reading for all those interested in the life of
this great and driven man.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
