Publisher's Synopsis

""Napoleon The Little"" is a satirical novella written by the renowned French author Victor Hugo. The book is a political satire that mocks the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor who was known for his military conquests and political ambitions. In the book, Hugo creates a fictional character named Louis Bonaparte, who is a small and insignificant man with delusions of grandeur. Louis Bonaparte is elected as the president of France, but he soon becomes obsessed with the idea of becoming an emperor like his famous uncle, Napoleon Bonaparte. The book follows Louis Bonaparte's rise to power, his attempts to consolidate his power, and his eventual downfall. Through the character of Louis Bonaparte, Hugo satirizes the corrupt and authoritarian nature of the French political system in the mid-19th century. The book is a witty and humorous commentary on the politics of the time and is considered one of Hugo's finest works of satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
