I, Napoleon

The representatives of the French People, formed into a National Assembly, considering ignorance, forgetfulness or contempt of the rights of man to be the only causes of public misfortunes and the corruption of Governments, have resolved to set forth, in a solemn Declaration, the natural, unalienable and sacred rights of man, to the end that this Declaration, constantly present to all members of the body politic, may remind them unceasingly of their rights and their duties; to the end that the acts of the legislative power and those of the executive power, since they may be continually compared with the aim of every political institution, may thereby be the more respected; to the end that the demands of the citizens, founded henceforth on simple and incontestable principles, may always be directed toward the maintenance of the Constitution and the happiness of all.

Description

At the heart of this historical novel is a pivotal moment in history, when the very foundations of society were shaken to their core during the French Revolution. Set against the backdrop of historical events spanning from 1787 to 1825, an era of profound significance. It’s a time when revolutionary ideals came to the forefront, with the introduction of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, proclaiming the inherent rights and liberties of all individuals. This era also witnessed the groundbreaking impact of the Napoleonic Code, which reshaped the concept of law, promoting equality and justice.

Within the pages of this book, three central characters—Napoleon Bonaparte, Tzar Alexander I of Russia, and the inquisitive Katya—navigate a world on the brink of change, where ambition, feudal traditions, and societal norms collide. ‘I, Napoleon: Creator of New Reality’ masterfully blends fact and fiction, offering a vivid portrayal of an era marked by political intrigue, the relentless pursuit of liberty, the fight for equality, and the enduring quest for freedom.

“History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.”

(Napoleon Bonaparte)
