Summary: "The Boy Life of Napoleon, Afterwards Emperor of the French" by Eugénie Foa is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work primarily focuses on the early years of Napoleon Bonaparte, tracing his childhood and formative experiences in Corsica, revealing the character of a boy who would eventually shape history.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Ajaccio, the scene unfolds with Eliza and Panoria, two inquisitive girls, as they discuss Napoleon's grotto—a private retreat where he often visits to contemplate his ambitions and dreams. As the chapter progresses, we witness a blend of childhood curiosity, mischief, and foreshadowing of his future leadership qualities, including his intense desire for independence and mastership, despite the various social constraints he faces from his family and peers.
