Description
Berezina is a travelogue that combines history, adventure and camaraderie as four friends retrace Napoleon's infamous retreat from Russia. Along the way, they reflect on the lessons of history and the meaning of defeat.
Two hundred years after the Battle of Berezina, Sylvain Tesson recounts his own journey along with his companions, who rode Ural motorcycles across 2,500 miles retracing the route taken by Napoleon's Grande Armée. The result is a humorous and erudite account that explores the complexities of history and its relevance to contemporary Europe.
This book will appeal to those interested in history, travel and adventure, offering a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the Napoleonic Wars.
