Napoleon's Campaign Library

Napoleon Micro-Books

The Napoleon's campaign library was primarily a set of specially printed books intended to accompany the emperor in his military campaigns, as Napoleon carried a portable library with him during his military campaigns.[1]

The desire to have reference or literary works, for learning, documentation or enjoyment, is attested from Napoleon's youth. [1] Once proclaimed emperor, with significant financial and legal resources, he instituted the creation of a specific library to satisfy his reading needs in the midst of a military campaign . Far from major cities and libraries. [2]
