Napoleon by Is. Querido
"Napoleon" by Is. Querido is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complex character and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte, exploring the varying perspectives held by historical figures regarding his life and actions. Querido appears to be particularly interested in the psychological underpinnings of Napoleon's controversial reputation, oscillating between admiration and disdain. The opening of the book presents a rich tapestry of Napoleon's childhood, characterized
by his early struggles for acceptance among peers at military school. At a young age, he displays a grave and mature demeanor, juxtaposed with feelings of isolation and determination. The text critiques the contrasting views of Napoleon, where he is both revered as a heroic figure and reviled as a tyrant. Through Querido's lens, Napoleon emerges as a multifaceted individual whose legacy continuously invites analysis and debate. The initial chapters set the stage for an in-depth psychological exploration that questions the nature of historical truth and the complexity inherent in evaluating monumental figures like Napoleon.
