"The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" in 4 volumes is a comprehensive and meticulously written biographical account of the most notable French statesman and military leader. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) became famous as an artillery commander during the French Revolution. He led many successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars and was Emperor of the French as Napoleon I from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. He dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions during the Napoleonic Wars. He won many of these wars and a vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over much of continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. Napoleon is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. His political and cultural legacy has made him one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history.

L'organizzazione di un seminario in occasione del bicentenario della morte di Napoleone Bonaparte ha risposto al duplice intento di coordinare un gruppo variegato e multidisciplinare e di realizzare un'azione di politica culturale mirata a non dimenticare le vicende storiche relative e connesse alla figura dell'imperatore dei francesi in una prospettiva orgogliosamente ostile a qualsivoglia manomissione della memoria, mascherata dal politically correct approach orientato e dettato dalla diffusione dilagante della cancel culture. Le due giornate di studio, di cui il presente volume è il frutto, hanno evidenziato l'importanza della riflessione su una personalità imponente che si può ritenere parte fondante della storia europea e globale e che è, d'altro canto, assai difficile far emergere attraverso una visione univoca. Tale visione, peraltro, non è mai stata tra gli obiettivi prefissati. Ciò che conta è, invece, la volontà comune e condivisa tra studiosi di discipline diverse di scegliere di non dimenticare Napoleone. Un approccio, questo, che può essere interpretato anche nei termini di una presa di posizione orientata al netto rifiuto del sacrificio di una parte essenziale della memoria e della identità europee.
