WATERLOO THE RELICS. 26768-7
Gilles Bernard & Gérard Lachaux.
Format 21 x 29.7 cm, paperback, 128 pages.
“Waterloo, dreary plain…”
These three words still resonate in the memory of the French. Beyond the writings of Victor Hugo, for them it is the precise memory of a defeat rather than that of a battle and, depending on opinions, the end point of a fantastic epic or a terrible despotism.
June 18, 1815, a disastrous day for French arms which saw the final fall of Napoleon and sealed the fate of Europe for decades. Authentic evidence of the battle had to be sought from the sources. Two centuries apart, the only concrete clues, in our eyes, were the objects that had really “made” Waterloo. Oddly enough, after so many publications on the subject, no one seemed to be really interested in it. However, their emotional capital always remains intact, from Napoleon's famous hat to the uniform button of the most obscure infantry rifleman.
