You can see a really unique work in front of you - translated for the first time into Russian the memoirs of the grenadier-fusilier of the Napoleon Imperial Guard Adrien Bourgogne, who tells brightly and emotionally about one of the most tragic wars in the Xixth century - about Napoleon Russian campaign of the 1812-13. An ordinary soldier, sergeant Bourgogne, the participant of this campaign, describes in detail his way in this campaign: the battles in which he took part, his friends, people he met. Being an observant person by nature, he pays his attention to the smallest details. This very Bourgogne's literary manner makes his memoirs not only an interesting book, but also the most precious source of information about the most tragic campaign by the emperor Napoleon.
