Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the key figures in the history of Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. When he was very young, he succeeded in conquering the throne of France and half of Europe. All his victories were the result of his firm and determined character. Napoleon is described as an extremely cruel man; he loved power. But one cannot deny his cold-blooded premeditation and skills of a wise strategist, which brought about his many victories. Bonaparte was distinguished by his iron will and military talent. He is revered in France not only as a general, but also as a reformer and legislator.

It is interesting to look at Napoleon through the eyes of his contemporaries. For example, the Russian poet, memoirist, Lieutenant-General Denis Davydov, in his essay “Tilsit in 1807”, describes the meeting between Alexander and Napoleon as a meeting of the Russian Tsar “with the greatest commander, politician, legislator and administrator, who conquered all Europe within two years only, defeated our army twice and stood on the Russian border. It was about a meeting with a man who had the most fascinating talent of enticing people and at the same time gifted with extraordinary insight into the depths of the characters, feelings and thoughts of his adversaries …”

And here is how Denis Davydov describes Napoleon’s appearance:

#2

I saw a man of small stature, exactly two arshins and six vershoks, quite stout, although he was only thirty-seven years old and although the way of life he led, should not allow him to be so corpulent, it would seem. I saw a man who held himself upright, without the slightest tension, which, however, is the feature of almost all men of small stature. But his unique quality was something of a noble warrior-like stateliness, undoubtedly stemming from the habit of dominating people and his sense of moral superiority over them. He was no less remarkable for his relaxed and free manner, as well as for his unsophisticated and natural dexterity in the most ardent and fast methods and tricks, both on the move and standing on the spot. I saw a man of clean, slightly swarthy face, with rather regular features. His nose was small and straight, with a little crook. His hair was dark blond, his eyebrows and lashes were somewhat black, and his eyes were blue, which, coupled with his almost black lashes, made his gaze exceedingly agreeable. Finally, whenever I happened to see him, I never noticed those frowning eyebrows, the then portrait-pamphleteers indued him with.
