"Indeed, the French nation did not have such a hard-working ruler before or after" - P. Jarkiewicz. Experience a day at Napoleon's court by meeting him as head of state.
We live in times when the country's constitution seems obvious, often not even respected. However, the first constitution in Europe was created in very dramatic circumstances. It was more than just a government act, it was an attempt to repair a country that was falling into decay, an unsuccessful attempt because its innovative, even revolutionary character could not reach a leading social group focused only on personal benefits and privileges.
"... Bonaparte gave us an example how we should win" - a fragment of the Polish a hymn by Józef Wybicki (1797) refers not only to the Poles. Napoleon was an undisputed genius of war, the strategist who was a head of his time. A short column about what commander he was, how he lived and travelled during military operations.
He had it all: good presence, good ancestry. His uncle was king of Poland. He had a certain je ne sais quoi: charm, good manners, a sense of humour, and a devil-may-care attitude. He was honourable, faithful to the ideals for that he lay down his life. Prince Józef Poniatowski.
This column is a humorous portrayal of the prince figure. An exceptional person who lived in special times.
The Tin-Roofed Palace – the Polish Ministry of War and… the cave of corruption of morals. Let me briefly present you with the story of this unusual, today a bit forgotten place and people who lived in.
Dreams, the power of possibilities and the brutally humbling lesson – a memory of Titanic.
