Emil Ludwig's biography of Napoleon, now 74 years old, continues its remarkable presence as a classic of Napoleonic literature and has yet to be surpassed for its unique presentation. Writing in the present tense, Ludwig brings to life his subject's character better than any other biography of Napoleon. The biography is divided into five books: 'The Island' (birth to marriage), 'The Torrent' (Army of Italy to First Counsel), 'The River' (Marengo to birth of Napoleon II), 'The Sea' (Russia to Waterloo), and 'The Rock' (St. Helena). Each book begins with a quote from Goethe. Although Ludwig does not include a bibliography, the concluding four pages, the 'Envoy', state that all data are recorded facts, except the soliloquies.
