On one hand, two fictional characters become privileged witnesses to the day of June 18, 1815, the Battle of Waterloo, offering an intimate and human perspective of one of the most decisive confrontations in European history. On the other hand, the same pair of protagonists delve into the Egyptian campaign that General Bonaparte led between 1798 and 1801, once again blending historical reality with fiction to explore the beginnings of his military career. To complete the work, several short stories that the Funckens published in Tintin magazine in the 50s are included—some written by the budding screenwriter Yves Duval—which expand the Napoleonic universe with short, self-contained tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical reconstruction of the Battle of Waterloo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNapoleonic campaign in Egypt (1798-1801).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFusion of fictional characters with real events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eShort stories with Napoleonic themes published in the press.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollaboration between the illustrators Funcken and screenwriter Yves Duval.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at fans of historical comics and graphic memoirs, as well as readers interested in the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Napoleonic Wars.
