| Summary | "Tendresses impériales" by Emperor of the French Napoleon I is a collection of letters written in the early 19th century. This work presents an intimate glimpse into the emotional landscape of Napoleon Bonaparte through his correspondence with his first wife, Joséphine de Beauharnais, and his mistress, the Comtesse Marie Walewska. It reflects on themes of love, longing, and the complexities of his relationships set against a backdrop of intense military and political activity. At the start of the collection, Napoleon expresses deep affection for Joséphine, affording readers a view of his personal vulnerabilities juxtaposed with his role as a military leader. In the early letters, he laments the distance between them during his military campaigns, revealing a tender side as he worries about her health and desires her companionship. His writing oscillates between expressions of passionate love and moments of jealousy, illustrating the emotional turmoil that colored his life amidst the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. The opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of love intertwined with duty, showcasing how Napoleon navigated his personal desires along with his responsibilities as a leader.
