Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne (1769–1834) was a French diplomat and close companion to one of history's most iconic figures, Napoleon Bonaparte. His foremost contribution to literature is the detailed account of his time with Napoleon, articulated in his seminal work 'Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte — Complete'. Bourrienne met Napoleon at the military academy at Brienne-le-Château, and their paths would cross in momentous ways throughout the vicissitudes of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. As Napoleon's private secretary, Bourrienne had unparalleled access to the inner workings of his administration and campaigns. This intimate proximity allowed him to construct an intricate portrayal of Bonaparte's life and character, spanning from the latter's Corsican origins to his ignominious end. As an author, Bourrienne's narrative is characterized by detailed administrative insights and a personalistic approach to historical events. Though critics have debated the accuracy and objectivity of his recollections, his memoirs remain a valuable and widely-read source for understanding Napoleon and his epoch. Bourrienne's contribution through his memoirs is not only a gateway to the life of a prominent historical figure but also a text that helps illuminate the political, social, and military context of late 18th and early 19th century Europe. His work continues to be an indispensable resource for historians and enthusiasts of the Napoleonic age.
