The Memoirs of the Napoleonic Grenadier

You can see a really unique work in front of you - translated for the first time into Russian the memoirs of the grenadier-fusilier of the Napoleon Imperial Guard Adrien Bourgogne, who tells brightly and emotionally about one of the most tragic wars in the Xixth century - about Napoleon Russian campaign of the 1812-13. An ordinary soldier, sergeant Bourgogne, the participant of this campaign, describes in detail his way in this campaign: the battles in which he took part, his friends, people he met. Being an observant person by nature, he pays his attention to the smallest details. This very Bourgogne`s literary manner makes his memoirs not only an interesting book, but also the most precious source of information about the most tragic campaign by the emperor Napoleon.
