Joseph-Henri ROSNY Elder. Autograph manuscript, [Napoleon the Great, 1937]; 210 pages in-4. Complete manuscript, abundantly crossed out and corrected, of this biography of Napoleon, published by Éditions des Portiques in 1931. We will quote the last lines: "Supreme artist of action, by an incomparable dosage of dream and reality; ardent imagination to the point of being chimerical, in concordance with a marvelous practical sense, a vast conception of the whole and an acute vision of the details; man of war doubled as a director without equal, a surprising psychologist of the crowds ; a calculator who foresees everything; a military orator who, in a few sentences, transfigures his troops and his victories; a prodigious trainer who converts fables into events and events into fables, Napoleon Bonaparte is the most original figure that has ever appeared among conquerors and dominators of peoples.
