Folk-Tales of Napoleon: Napoleonder from the Russian; the Napoleon of the People from the French of Honoré De Balzac
1902
Translated by George Kennan
''Folk-Tales of Napoleon'' by Aleksandr Amfiteatrov, first published in 1902, is a collection of two folk tales that blend historical fiction with myth, exploring the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte from Russian and French perspectives. The first tale, ''Napoleonder,'' depicts Napoleon's creation by God and his subsequent conquests, while the second, ''The Napoleon of the People,'' recounts his rise and fall through the eyes of a former soldier. These narratives reflect the complex national character and the duality of Napoleon's legacy as both a conqueror and a hero, revealing the deep impact he had on the collective memory of Russia and France.

“They were no more! The rest of the story is well known to everybody. The Red Man went over to the Bourbons, like the scoundrel that he is; France was crushed; and the old soldiers, who were no longer of any account, were deprived of their dues and sent back to their homes, in order that their places might be given to a lot of nobles who couldn't even march”
— Aleksandr Amfiteatrov
