The book offered to the readers, written in a fascinating form, contains an exposition of some not very traditional versions of famous historical events, one way or another related to the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The mysterious death of Admiral Villeneuve and Empress Josephine, the strange "betrayal" of Marshal Marmont, the equally strange surrender of the Napoleonic army in Spain and, of course, the stories of the emperor's doubles and his death have left no one indifferent for almost two centuries and will attract the attention of both specialists and all history lovers for a long time. As a bonus - pictures that complement the illustrations, and portraits of persons mentioned in the book, but not illustrated.
