About This Book

L'essai propose un portrait critique et lyrique de Napoléon, explorant son génie militaire, sa passion pour l'unité et son rapport à la Révolution. L'auteur examine ses contradictions morales, son usage de la raison d'État, ses habitudes de vie et ses liaisons, ainsi que l'imaginaire de puissance qu'il incarne. L'origine corse et le poids du clan y sont décrits comme facteurs formatifs. Le texte combine analyses historiques, jugements moraux et images poétiques pour interroger la nature du pouvoir, de l'autorité et de l'ordre instaurés par un homme seul.
