"[V. 348] Pt. 1, To destiny: The first episode recounts the story of Napoleon's extraordinary rise from the obscurity of his Corsican childhood to the victories in Italy that made him a hero to the French people and convinced him that he was destined for greatness. The program also tells of his love for Josephine Beauharnais, a woman of extravagant habits and tastes, who did not at first return his passionate affection. -- Pt. 2, Mastering luck: This episode charts Napoleon's ascent to absolute power, from victorious general to first consul to emperor of France. The program describes his achievements - from the Napoleonic Code and the Bank of France to bridges, roads and canals - as well as the tyrannical nature of his rule and the violent opposition of most of Europe. -- [v. 349] Pt. 3, The Summit of greatness: - This episode witnesses Napoleon's conquest of most of Europe in a series of brilliant triumphs, including his legendary victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. To sustain his rule, he must continue to fight, but when he invades Spain, he has begun to reach too far. -- Pt. 4, The End: - The final episode describes Napoleon's downfall, including the invasion and subsequent retreat from Russia, and his final battles in which all of Europe is arrayed against him. Exiled to Elba, he returns to France after just 10 months, only to be defeated for the last time at Waterloo. Napoleon spends his final days exiled on an island far out in the South Atlantic, where he writes his memoirs and reinvents his legend."@en . . .

"Napoleon bears passionate witness to a man whose charisma swayed an empire and sparked his exalted belief in his own destiny. He is a figure riddled with contradictions that are the essence of his glory and undoing: his youthful enthusiasm for the ideals of the French Revolution did not prevent him from crowning himself Emperor. His passionate love of Josephine did not prevent him from divorcing her to marry the eighteen-year-old Archduchessof Austria. His military genius did not save him from the disastrous invasion of Russia. His love of France was so compromised by his notions of personal glory that he repeatedly plunged his beloved country into war." .
