Andrew Roberts' Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine.

Written with great energy and authority - and using the newly available personal archives of Napoleon himself - the first volume of a majestic two-part biography of the great French emperor and conqueror.

Napoleon Bonaparte lived one of the most extraordinary of all human lives. In the space of just 20 years, from October 1795, when as a young artillery captain he cleared the streets of Paris of insurrectionists, to his final defeat at the (horribly mismanaged) battle of Waterloo in June 1815, Napoleon transformed France and Europe. After seizing power in a coup d'état, he ended the corruption and incompetence into which the revolution had descended.

Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power was meteoric. Ever the outsider and regarded by many as an upstart, his extraordinary determination, courage, and tactical skill saw him rise from ordinary beginnings to become the greatest military commander of his age. A brigadier general by the age of 24, crowned Emperor of France by age 35, he had conquered most of the countries of Europe by the time he was 45.

A collection of maxims that directed the military operations of the greatest captain of modern times cannot fail to prove of great use to such young officers as really desire a knowledge of the art of war.

The story of Napoleon has been written many times. In some versions, he is a military genius, in others a war-obsessed tyrant. Here, historian Adam Zamoyski cuts through the mythology and explains Napoleon against the background of the European Enlightenment and what he was himself seeking to achieve. This most famous of men is also the most hidden of men, and Zamoyski dives deeper than any previous biographer to find him. Beautifully written, Napoleon brilliantly sets the man in his European context.

La riqueza y el crecimiento personal están al alcance de todas aquellas personas que lo desean; basta simplemente con desvelar un secreto, el secreto del éxito. Napoleon Hill lo descubrió y lo plasmó en este libro, reproducido aquí íntegramente, hace más de ochenta años. El economista Carlos Galán (autor de Independízate de Papá Estado) ha completado así el clásico de Hill con ejercicios y nuevos capítulos para entenderlas y ponerlas en práctica.

David Bell emphasizes the astonishing sense of human possibility that Napoleon represented. Bell emphasizes the importance of the French Revolution in understanding Napoleon's career. The revolution made possible the unprecedented concentration of political authority that Napoleon accrued. Without the political changes brought about by the revolution, Napoleon could not have fought his wars. Without the wars, he could not have seized and held onto power. Though his virtual dictatorship betrayed the ideals of liberty and equality, his life and career were revolutionary.

The Battle of the Meuse-Argonne stands as the deadliest clash in American history: More than a million untested American soldiers went up against a better-trained and more experienced German army, costing more than 26,000 deaths and leaving nearly 100,000 wounded. Yet, in 47 days of intense combat, those Americans pushed back the enemy and forced the Germans to surrender, bringing the First World War to an end - a feat the British and the French had not achieved after more than three years of fighting.

Paul Johnson's book is a refreshing return to a concept whose time has come once again: the Great Man theory of biography. It serves as "the greatest possible refutation of those who hold that events are governed by forces, classes, economics, and geography rather than the powerful wills of men and women". Napoleon truly was the Great Man of his age, a towering and terrible genius who managed to conquer the Continent.

Napoleon Bonaparte's rise from common origins to the pinnacle of power, as well as his defeat at Waterloo, still influences our daily lives, from the map of Europe to the metric system. Here's the fascinating story of the great soldier-statesman.

Über einen Zeitraum von mehr als 20 Jahren interviewte der blutjunge Napoleon Hill mehr als 500 Millionäre, unter ihnen die mächtigsten und einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten seiner Zeit wie Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller oder Theodore Roosevelt. Die Essenz seiner Studien ist in dieses Buch eingeflossen. Herausgekommen ist eine ebenso zeitlose wie überzeugende Anleitung für persönlichen Erfolg, in der Napoleon Hill zeigt, wie man in nur 13 Schritten sein Leben verändern kann - das womöglich wichtigste Finanzbuch, das jemals geschrieben wurde.

Napoleon inspires passionately held and often conflicting visions. Was he a godlike genius, a romantic avatar, a megalomaniac monster, a compulsive warmonger or just a nasty little dictator? Whilst he displayed elements of these traits at certain times, Napoleon was none of these things. He was a man and, as Adam Zamoyski presents him in this landmark biography, a rather ordinary one at that.

Frühjahr 1813: Europa stöhnt unter Napoleons Herrschaft. Nach der dramatischen Niederlage der Grande Armée gehen Preußen und das Zarenreich zum Gegenangriff über. Im ausgebluteten Sachsen müssen die Menschen Entscheidungen treffen, die ihr Leben unwiderruflich verändern werden: eine Mutter, die verzweifelt auf die Rückkehr ihrer Söhne hofft, ein General, der seinen Kopf riskiert, damit sich Sachsen den Alliierten anschließt, eine Gräfin, die aus Liebe Napoleons Spionin wird.

Between 1796 and 1815, the continent of Europe was held in thrall by one of the most remarkable personalities of modern times, a man whose name was on the lips of every man, woman, and child: Napoleon Bonaparte. Certainly, one would have to go back to the time of Charlemagne to find his equal on the field of battle, in the halls of diplomacy, or in the courts of jurisprudence.

The most celebrated general in history, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) has for centuries attracted eminent male writers. Since Thomas Carlyle first christened him “our last Great Man”, regiments of biographers have marched across the same territory, weighing campaigns and conflicts, military tactics and power politics. With Napoleon, Ruth Scurr, one of our most eloquent and original historians, emphatically rejects the shibboleth of the “Great Man” theory of history, instead following the dramatic trajectory of Napoleon’s life through gardens, parks, and forests.

Ob Geld, Ruhm, Macht, Zufriedenheit, Sicherheit oder Glück - jeder von uns hat persönliche Ziele. Und jeder hat diesen Teufel in sich, der sich in Gestalt von Angst, Hinauszögern, Wut oder Eifersucht zeigt und uns an der Verwirklichung des einen oder anderen Ziels hindert. Napoleon Hill dringt an die Wurzel des menschlichen Potenzials vor und zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie diesen Teufel besiegen und mithilfe Ihres Verstandes Ihre Träume verwirklichen können. Ein Buch, das 1938 geschrieben und dann fast 80 Jahre verschollen war. Ein Buch, das seiner Zeit weit voraus war.
