Widger's Quotations from Project Gutenberg Edition of Memoirs of Napoleon

This audio compilation brings together a thoughtfully selected range of quotations drawn from the extensive memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte. Drawing on both the official memoirs compiled by Louis‑Bourrienne and the more intimate accounts of Constant, the editor has gathered memorable passages that reveal the military leader’s ambition, self‑reflection, and occasional humor. Listeners can expect a concise snapshot of the emperor’s voice without having to wade through the full twelve‑volume set.

The selections are presented in two convenient formats: short excerpts that capture the context of a scene, and an alphabetized list of one‑line quotes that can be referenced quickly. Throughout the recording, the editor invites listeners to suggest additional favorites, emphasizing the collaborative spirit of digital publishing. Ideal for history buffs, students, or anyone curious about the mind behind the legend, this collection offers a portable window into Napoleon’s own words. Because each quotation is tied to its original location, users can easily locate the full passage in the source text for deeper study.
