Summary "Napoléon intime" by Arthur Lévy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and character of Napoléon Bonaparte, presenting him as a complex figure shaped by his personal relationships and experiences. Lévy aims to counter negative perceptions of Napoléon, providing a narrative that emphasizes his humanity and the virtues that underpinned his historical actions. The opening of "Napoléon intime" sets the stage for an exploration of Napoléon's early life, beginning with his birth on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica. It details his family background, highlighting his humble beginnings and the influences of his parents. The narrative describes his education at the military school in Brienne, where he faced challenges due to his modest means and Corsican origins. Despite the ridicule he endured, Napoléon demonstrated resilience and a strong sense of duty towards his family, showcasing a blend of ambition and human tenderness that would characterize his later life. The opening portion establishes a framework for understanding the formative experiences that shaped the future Emperor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
