Memoirs of the life, exile, and conversations of the Emperor Napoleon. (Vol. I) (original) (raw)
"Memoirs of the life, exile, and conversations of the Emperor Napoleon. (Vol. I)" by Emmanuel de Las Cases is a journal-memoir first published in 1823. The work transcribes Las Cases' near-daily conversations with Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile on Saint Helena, capturing the former Emperor's reflections on his life, career, and political philosophy. Begun aboard ship after Waterloo and continued until Las Cases' expulsion from the island, these intimate dialogues became a literary sensation and founding text of the Napoleon cult, shaping how generations understood the fallen emperor's legacy.
