TRUE STORY : In The Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne (1785 - 1867), the reader steps into the ranks of Napoleon's Grand Armée through the eyes of a man who lived its glory and its ruin. From the proud parades of the Imperial Guard to the frozen horrors of the Russian campaign, Bourgogne bears witness to history not as a general, but as a soldier of flesh and blood. His tale unfolds in fire and snow - comradeship, hunger, madness, and faith woven together in a march toward destiny. He sees friends fall, heroes fade, and yet, devotion to the Emperor burns unshaken. Between the roar of cannon and the silence of death, his voice remains human, tender, and painfully lucid. Later, peace brings no rest - only reflection, loss, and the quiet nobility of ordinary life. These memoirs promise not only action and survival, but the rare truth of a man who saw everything and dared to remember it all. It is history made human - vivid, tragic, and unforgettable.
