A great General, a famous statesman, the man of uncommon destiny Napoleon Buonaparte was out of the historical arene in July, eighteen hundred and fifteenth.
Another six years in a rocky island lost in the ocean the life of the man went through his glory had been still gleaming. It was a protracted for years agony of the prisoner, who was doomed to lingering death. The British Government, of whom generosity Napoleon counted on, came short. They put their prisoner into severe and humiliating conditions of a petty-minded captious meddling spoiled the last years of his life. In these long days of ordeals and misfortune he displayed courage and strength of mind which made forget many of his previous crimes.
From hundred and fifty – one hundred and eighty miles years voices of the past epoch come to us more subduedly. But a historian, refreshing the picture of the very far-off times and its heroes, is already free from any partiality and prejudicialness of the past epoch; the historical events and historical characters, proved by the strong measures of time, find their actual size, history assigns everyone his place. Napoleon Buonaparte from this long distance appears in all his inconsistency. He is apprehended first of all as a son of his time - a critical epoch, the epoch of transformation from the old feudal world to the new bourgeois society coming in the stead of. His name associates with dimensionless ambition, despotic rule, cruel bloody battles, sateless thirst of conquests. For sure, it would be right to say that Napoleon Buonaparte was one of the most remakable representative of bourgeoisie then it was still young bold ascending classe , that he personified the most completely all its virtues and its proper even at the early stage shortcomings. As long as there was more elements of progressive in Napoleon's action, good fortune, wins accompanied him.And when Napoleonic Wars turned into pure aggressive, imperialistic wars which brought enslavement and oppression to European nations, then neither none of Napoleon's personal gifts nor enormous efforts he made already couldn't bring him the victory. He was coming with immenence to the ruin of his empire and to his own failure. His ups and downs were consequent enaugh. Napoleon Buonaparte was a son of his epoch an impressed in his character features of his age. All following figures of bourgeoisie who was pretending to the Napoleon's role, reflecting historical evolution of the class representatives of which they were, became petty, degenerated into a bad mock or caricature of image they tried to imitate.
However it is impossible to strike out of the annals the Napoleon Buonaparte's name. In nineteen sixty-eight his two hundreth anniversary was celebrated: hundreds of books and articles, congresses, conferences and television programmes and discutions again.The public interest for man, general, statesman of remote times is still great. What is the matter of issue? Some disparage and curse Buonaparte, others praise, the thirds try to find an explanation of inconsistency of his track, so much different from the others. However, how much wouldn't differ the opinions, everyone coincides that that was a man of an unique, striking destiny, which was stamped on the memory of generations. (a passage from epilogue to the book “Napoleon Buonaparte” by A.Z. Manfred)

One day Alex said that we go skiing Sunday. “We stick at home too much”, he said, - “why don't we run ten or fifteen kilometres through the forest? It won‟t take us much time, but then we'll be feeling good foe all the week.”
When I came to the station spot on time I saw several men waiting for the train, but there was not Alex amonst them. “Anything could delay him,”- I thinked and decided to wait a bit.
The wind cut me like a knife, and I began to grow irritated.” Who is he that I should wait for him?” But just when I was going to leave Alex appeared ten minutes behind time and start talking something incomprehensible of the watch, which he forgot to wind up. I couldn't help talking him who I think he was. Finally I'm not to be treated like this. However we went, but our spirit was damped.
When we got off the train at a small station, we went to the forest: I went at the head and Alex followed me. He said so there wouldn't be any possibility for me to fall behind. It snowed all night and nobody laid out a ski trail. It was difficult for me to do at the head and I said: “Why don't we swap places? You won‟t have to make so much effort to go ahead, you're supposed to be a good skier.” But Alex didn't want. “He does it out of sheer malice,”- I thought. But when I glanced back few moments later, to my great surprise, I saw him trailing along behind, obviously was absolutely unable to be keep up with me. It was evident that he couldn't ski. I regret that I came with him. The point was not he turned out a bad skier. He was a liar and a boaster. And I couldn‟t digest it.
