Summary "Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte — Volume 14 by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne" is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book is a part of a series of memoirs authored by Bourrienne, who was Napoleon's private secretary, and it centers on the personal and political events surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte during the year 1815, including his return from exile and the tumultuous period leading up to the Battle of Waterloo. In this volume, Bourrienne provides detailed insights into Napoleon's attempts to regain his power after returning to France from Elba. The narrative covers key political maneuvers, including Napoleon's short-lived reinstatement as Emperor, his efforts to navigate the challenges posed by both the French political landscape and foreign powers, and the eventual consequences of his military campaigns. Notably, it recounts significant events such as the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras, and culminates in the dramatic aftermath of his defeat at Waterloo, leading to his final abdication and decision to surrender to the British. The memoir offers a fascinating perspective on a pivotal moment in European history, illuminating Napoleon's complex character and the turbulent atmosphere of his reign.
