Napoleon Facing Death
Alain Frerejean
“Far from the legend,” writes Jean Tulard, “Alain Frerejean offers us a complete picture of this confrontation between the conqueror and death, from the suicidal tendencies of his youth, far from his native Corsica, to the last days of slow agony.”
More than thirty times he came close to death. It always escaped him.
The shells and bullets of the enemy, the daggers of the assassins, the infernal machines of the plotters, the drowning, the fall into the precipices, the manhunt, the poison he himself poured, the duels of his youth… Makes you wonder what saved him. Unless Providence got involved… but did the Emperor believe in God? or to his lucky star?
Obviously, Napoleon was a fearless knight. But how many millions of men has he sent to death, without more hatred than remorse? What did he feel when he walked the battlefield, hearing the cry of the dying: “Long live the Emperor!”
