"The Second Funeral of Napoleon" is a novel by the English writer William Makepeace Thackeray, which covers the events surrounding a fantastic performance in France: the end of Napoleon in the last or first funeral, the mysterious death of a man and his glorious burial. The author reveals the paradoxes of the political and cultural world of his era through the prism of a fictional mythical event with apt sharpness and sophistication. Contributions of satire and humor make this work not only a source of pleasure, but also a historically valuable testimony of the reaction of the civilized world of the 19th century to the legends about Napoleon Bonaparte.
