| Summary | "Manuscrit de mil huit cent quatorze, trouvé dans les voitures impériales prises à Waterloo" by Baron Fain is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text reveals the experiences and observations of Fain, who served as a secretary in Napoleon's cabinet during the last tumultuous months of his rule. The narrative covers significant historical developments, including military campaigns, political maneuvers, and the challenges faced by Napoleon as he attempted to retain power in the face of overwhelming opposition. The opening of the work sets the stage by establishing the context of necessity for a truthful recounting of Napoleon's final months, as many narratives emerging post-empire were shaped by partisan perspectives. The author references the loss of Napoleon's empire and endeavors to document events chronologically, drawing from his firsthand experience witnessing key moments. The narrative begins with Napoleon's return to Paris in 1813, outlining his active measures to rally the nation for defense and explore peace negotiations with the allies, setting up a backdrop of impending conflict and historical significance.
