Entitled “Les chutes” (“The Downfall”), this 15th and last volume of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Correspondance générale covers the darkest periods – but also in some respects the most exciting – of the epic. It leads us in the footsteps of the Emperor, from the plains of Champagne to the rock of St Helena via the island of Elba and Waterloo. Of the 2,398 letters published, 61% were not included in previous editions. These unpublished articles shed new light on the end of the Napoleonic episode as well as on the final exile.
