Abstract:

The article analyses Saint-Simon’s ideas about the mechanism of transition to social reorganization, which he saw as the main content of his contemporary era. Starting with the Letters of Geneva Resident to Contemporaries in the plans of the philosopher a special, exclusive place was given to Napoleon. Saint-Simon expected to strike, attract with his ideas a new star who rose on a political skyscraper. He judged from a belief in the linear, logical-defined course of history. Napoleon was present in the mind of the philosopher as a hero who overcame the negative consequences of the French Revo

Abstract:

The subject of the study is the specifics of the disclosure of the Napoleonic theme in the story by A. Zegers "Slavery returned to Guadeloupe" in the context of the development of the traditions of F.M. Dostoevsky. This work belongs to the so-called "Negro" novels by Anna Zegers. The development of the events described in the work is based on antagonism and the problem of mutual rejection of blacks and whites. The problem of the oppressed position of Blacks in the story is closely related to the image of Napoleon. In her literary and critical articles, A. Zegers repeatedly denounced the Napole

Abstract:

The War for Independence of Spain in 1808–1814 found a wide response in Russian society, which sympathetically followed the desperate resistance of the Iberian peoples and enthusiastically perceived the loud defeats of the Napoleonic army. Interest in the events of the war on the other side of Europe gave rise to a surge of numerous publications in the Russian press in the first half of the 19th century, among which were the memoirs of the then-novice journalist of Polish origin Faddei Bulgarin. They are unique in that the author was one of the few representatives of Russian society who was no

Abstract:

The Patriotic War of 1812 occupies a special place in the historical memory of Russia.

Labaume, Gaspard Gourgaud, Philippe-Paul de Ségur, L. de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, G. Chambray, A. Jomini and J.

Abstract:

The article examines the “Napoleonic” stanza XXXVII from the Seventh Chapter of the novel “Eugene Onegin” in the context of poetics, problematics, and the spiritual ideal of the work. Pushkin’s analogy of the figurative pairs “Napoleon — Moscow” and “Onegin — Tatiana” appears the most important and meaningful. The research demonstrates that mentioning the only historical person in the novel acting in a concrete historical situation is extraordinary for the artistic system of “Eugene Onegin” and largely organizes Pushkin’s hierarchy of meanings.

Abstract:

В русской классической литературе, особенно в поэзии, образ Героя занимает значимое место. Это обусловлено историческими реалиями (многочисленные войны), но также связано с интересом авторов к выдающимся личностям, меняющим ход истории и бросающим вызов самой Судьбе. Уделял внимание этому образу и А.С. Пушкин. В данной статье мы рассмотрим несколько героических фигур в лирике и поэмах (Наполеон, Карагеоргий, Петр I). Интерес поэта к личности Наполеона не вызывает сомнения. Анализ показывает, что образ Наполеона в «лицейской» лирике трактуется в соответствии с литературной и культурной традицие

Introduction. In the Napoleonic era, political power set itself two tasks: to continue the traditions of the revolution in the formation of a new system of people and to make these changes correlate with the requirements of the new political system associated with the formation of the Empire. Historians have not paid enough attention to Napoleon’s educational policy and the relation of these events to his political goals. Analysis.

Abstract:

The reception of Napoleon in Germany was carried out under the sign of an aesthetic myth. The aesthetic myth is understood as a set of theories, concepts and texts of culture based on the idea of transforming the world through artistic creativity. Starting with romanticism, the aesthetic myth determines the specifics of the German discourse of culture. Under the sign of the aesthetic myth in Germany, the image of the French emperor is also comprehended. J.W.Goethe sees in Napoleon the embodiment of genius, the secret of which he is trying to unravel. Goethe sees in Napoleon a demonic personali

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the historical and cultural fusion of the Napoleonic and solar myth and its reflection in Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. The plea of investigator Porfiry Petrovich to Rodion Raskolnikov during their third conversation “to become the sun” affects not only the Christian, as many researchers have already noticed, but also the Napoleonic side of the personality of the hero, who is trying to become the new Petersburg’s legislator of humanity. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the concept of “the Sun of Austerlitz,” which is usually understood as the

Abstract:

The semantic and plot-generating functions of the onomastic paradigm in the works of Dina Rubina “Napoleon wagon train” and “The White Dove of Cordoba” is examined in the article. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the trilogy “Napoleon’s Wagon Train” has not previously been subjected to scientific analysis, nor has the artistic techniques of this trilogy been compared with those of other works by Dina Rubina. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that, based on the material of the latest novels by Rubina, repeated motives of the reification and humanization of a name

This chapter addresses the European dimension of nineteenth-century celebrity culture, the extent to which it involves international media networks and figures who, in person and by reputation, crossed borders to engage with multiple publics. Fame on an international scale was facilitated by the reopening of the continent to travel and tourism after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815—but the post-Napoleonic era also altered the conditions of fame, and as the effects of celebrity culture made themselves felt, so did some ironic counter-currents. In the wake of the personality-driven poetry of Byron

Though the island of Corsica had been held by many diﬀerent Mediterranean powers over the centuries, it had never been French until 1768, when Louis XV bought it from the Republic of Genoa. An expedition sent later that year ﬁnally defeated the last Corsican resistance on 8May 1969. Neither Corsica ‘s harbours nor its rocky soil oﬀered much reward for its conquerors—but its children were to remake France, Europe, and even the world.

The historiographic methodology used by this book is microhistory, an approach that historians developed in response to a loss of confidence in older paradigms that regarded European history since the eighteenth century as the steady unfolding of a systematic p

Even after receiving the czar’s letter denouncing Kutuzov’s retreat after the Battle of Maloyaroslavets and threatening to hold him personally responsible for any further setbacks, he

The United Kingdom of Belgium and the Netherlands drafted new codes in 1815–1830, which entered into force in 1838 after the secession of Belgium. Although these codes remained within the French orbit, Dutch jurists were satisfied with them, and attempts to revise them failed at the end of the nineteenth century.
