La Chute de Napoléon
Une autre histoire de Napoléon.
Il a fallu près d'une décennie à Dominique de Villepin pour écrire une trilogie inspirée sur la vie de Napoléon. Unanimement saluée par les critiques, elle a connu un grand succès public et déjà conquis plus de cent mille lecteurs.
Le Soleil noir de la puissance (1796-1807) raconte l'ascension spectaculaire de Bonaparte de la victoire de Lodi à l'apogée de Tilsit.
La Chute ou l'Empire de la solitude (1807-1814) déroule le fils implacable de la crise, puis de l'écroulement du Grand Empire à partir de la campagne de Russie.
Les Cent-Jours ou l'Esprit de sacrifice propose un récit élevé et enlevé du vol de l'Aigle et de sa chute foudroyante, dans la foulée de Waterloo, jusqu'à son dernier exil à Sainte-Hélène (Grand Prix de la Fondation Napoléon et prix des Ambassadeurs).
La voici pour la première fois rassemblée dans une édition de prestige revue et actualisée à l'occasion du bicentenaire des Cent-Jours et de la chute de l'Empereur.

About the author
Dominique de Villepin
34 books9 followersDominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin (born 14 November 1953) is a French politician who served as the Prime Minister of France from 31 May 2005 to 17 May 2007.
A career diplomat, Villepin rose through the ranks of the French right as one of Jacques Chirac's protégés. He came into the international spotlight as Foreign Minister with his opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq which culminated with a speech to the UN (French address on Iraq at the UN Security Council).
Villepin has enjoyed a modest return to public favour for his public critique of President Sarkozy's style of "imperial rule."
He has written poetry, a book about poetry, and several historical and political essays, along with studies of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Villepin is an Honorary Member of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.
One of the most vocal right-wing opponents of President Nicolas Sarkozy, he announced his candidature for President of France in 2012. On 25 March 2010, he announced that he would form a new center-right political movement in order to offer an alternative to Sarkozy in the 2012 election. However, Villepin failed to secure sufficient support to allow his candidacy to proceed.
