Summary "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work forms part of a comprehensive exploration of the period surrounding the French Consulate and the Empire, particularly focusing on significant episodes such as Napoleon's life, his exile to Elba, and the socio-political context of post-revolutionary France. The author aims to provide a detailed narrative of this transformative era. At the start of the volume, the text introduces the political landscape of France in early 1815, detailing the tensions between the Bourbon monarchy and the military, as well as the military's growing discontent and desire for change. The narrative discusses various political maneuvers, such as Lord Castlereagh's negotiations concerning territories and the popular unrest due to the return of Napoleon. As Napoleon prepares for potential tumult, he cultivates his little army and engages in day-to-day governance of Elba, reflecting on his past glories while plotting an eventual return to the political scene in France, which serves as a precursor to his dramatic comeback. This opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of a pivotal moment in European history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
