The Napoleon of the People

In 'The Napoleon of the People', Goguelat, a fictionalized ex-soldier who served under Napoleon in an infantry regiment, tells a story to a group of peasants about the legendary emperor's life. From his birth in Corsica to his military campaigns, Goguelat paints a picture of a man destined for greatness. With his incredible imagination, mysterious compacts, and prophetic dreams, Napoleon was more than just a mortal man - he was a child of God. The soldiers who followed him recognized his prodigies and adopted him as their father, while the rest of the world sought to contain him.
