Napoleon: The Little is a political critique that examines the rise of a ruler who betrayed the republic and its democratic ideals. The work offers a harsh judgment of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power, portraying him as a usurper whose actions led to the erosion of democratic values. The narrative begins by recounting the moment when Bonaparte is elected as President of the French Republic, with the tension between the hope for democracy and the threat of autocracy clearly visible. The book explores how this leader, who once pledged to uphold the republic's principles, ultimately transformed into a tyrant. It critiques the moral decline of society under his rule, focusing on the destructive consequences of power and the hypocrisy embedded in his political actions. This examination serves as a stark warning about the fragility of democratic systems and the ease with which they can be subverted by ambition and authoritarianism. Through this work, the author emphasizes the importance of safeguarding political ideals and the devastating effects of political betrayal.
