About the author
Born in 1844 and died in 1906, Herman Théodore Chappuis was a Dutch man of letters whose work appeared in the world of journalism as well as books. Library and biographical records identify him as the author of Napoleon and other writings, including Renée and Uit de schooljaren.
Chappuis is chiefly remembered today for his historical writing. His book on Napoleon was issued in 1913, after his death, suggesting that his work continued to find readers and publishers even years later.
Reliable portrait material for him was not readily confirmed from the sources I could access, so no profile image is included here.
