Napoleon and the Conquest of the World, also known as Napoleon
Apocryphus, traces Bonaparte's uchronic epic from his retreat from Russia in 1812 to his death in 1832.
The son of a major engineer who had fought in the Egyptian campaign, who died of exhaustion in Augsburg in 1806, Louis-Napoleon Geoffroy (1803-1858) was adopted by Napoleon with his brother. The author sums up his project: "I have written the history of Napoleon from 1812 to 1832, from Moscow in flames to his universal monarchy and his death, twenty years of incessantly growing greatness which raised him to the summit of an omnipotence above which there is only
God. (p. II).
A fine example.
