| Summary | "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Volume II" by Walter Scott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the early life and military career of Napoleon Bonaparte, tracing his rise from his childhood in Corsica through his education and military exploits during the French Revolution. The book focuses on pivotal events that shaped Napoleon's character and trajectory, highlighting his political engagement and eventual prominence in the French military. The opening of the book delves into the early life of Napoleon, detailing his family background and childhood in Corsica. It presents an in-depth look at his education at the Royal Military School at Brienne, where his aptitude for mathematics shone through despite a noted deficiency in classical studies. The narrative captures his gradual ascent through the military ranks, including his early political engagement and decisions that led to his banishment from Corsica. Napoleon's character is illustrated through anecdotes, revealing a complex personality driven by ambition and a longing for distinction that would later define his remarkable career.
