"Recollections of the Private Life of Napoleon — Volume 09" by Louis Constant Wairy is a historical account composed in the late 19th century. The book provides an intimate perspective of Napoleon's life and actions from the viewpoint of his premier valet de chambre, offering insights into his personal experiences, relationships, and the realities of his reign. The narrative likely covers significant events during Napoleon's time, particularly detailing his journey into Flanders and the subsequent events surrounding his rule. The opening of the narrative transports readers to September 1811, chronicling the Emperor's journey with the Empress through Montreuil-sur-Mer as he inspects and oversees civil and military administration along the route. Wairy meticulously recounts various incidents that reveal Napoleon's character—including his interactions with subjects, acts of kindness, and the grandiosity of his court. The text also touches on the relationship dynamics within the imperial family, particularly highlighting the Empress Marie Louise's character and her initial struggles in the French court. Through these reflections, Wairy aims to correct public misconceptions and emphasize the gravity of Napoleon's legacy during a period of both celebration and impending turmoil.
