Comparatively few memoirs of the Napoleonic period from the French side have been published in English. These memoirs of an officer in Napoleon's army provide a fascinating picture of that army in action in victory and defeat--at Eylau and Jena, at Wagram, in the Peninsula and at Leipzig; of the army's organization and morale; and of the life and views of the class from which the writer came, the bourgeoisie. The gripping memoirs of a cavalry officer of the First Empire This is the story of a remarkable French cavalryman of the Napoleonic era, Denis Charles Parquin, an officer of the Chasseurs a Cheval. Memoirs of soldiers of Napoleon's army are always exciting, but few exist in English translation. La Grande Armà e was the imperial army commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars. From 1804 to 1809, it won a series of military victories that allowed the French Empire to exercise unprecedented control over most of Europe. Widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest fighting forces ever assembled, it suffered terrible losses during the disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, after which it never recovered its tactical superiority. On January 1, 1803, when he was only sixteen years old, Charles Parquin joined the 20th Horse Hunters Regiment,where he remained until 1813. He was awarded the rank of brigadier on 25 October before being appointed a furrier on May 1, 18061. That same year, he fought in Saalfeld and Jena. On February 8, 1807,during the Battle of Eylau,he was wounded by a shot and five spears and then taken prisoner. After a few months of captivity in Russia, he joined his regiment. Promoted Marshal of the House on February 2, 1809 then second lieutenant on April 30, 19911, he took part in the Battle of Wagram where, on 2 July 1809,he was wounded by a gunshot wound to the left arm. On May 5, 1811,Second Lieutenant Parquin was shot in the face at the Battle of Ciudad Rodrigo. In Guarda, under the command of Commander Denys de Damrà mont,he took part in a charge that removed five flags from the Portuguese and allowed the capture of 1,500 prisoners. On July 22, 1812,during the Battle of Salamanca,he was wounded with a sword in his right wrist, which prevents him from using his arm until the end of the Spanish campaign. Lieutenant at the 13th Fighter Regiment since February 27, 1813, Parquin agreed to be demoted second lieutenant to join the 1st Guard Horse Hunters Regiment on March 10, 18131. Noticed by the Emperor during a review at the Tuileries, he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour on April 6, 1813. A few days after protecting Marshal Oudinot during the Battle of Leipzig, he was wounded by a bayonet in the face during an engagement against the Bavarian infantry at the Battle of Hanau on September 29, 18131. However, he continued his service and on 21 December, he was appointed captain of the 2nd Horse Hunter Regiment of the Guard. During the campaign of France (1814) he distinguished himself by taking over Oulchy-le-Château, where, without suffering any losses, he took a hundred prisoners (2-3March) and, a few days later, overloading 18 Russian artillery pieces to Saint-Dizier. Appointed by king's patent to the 11th Regiment of Cuirassiers on June 19, 1814, Parquin probably took part in the Battle of Waterloo, although his service records, written under the Second Restoration, do not speak of it. After the war, he retained his rank as captain by moving to the Cantal Hunters Regiment on May 25, 1815.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The gripping memoirs of a cavalry officer of the First EmpireThis is the story of a remarkable French cavalryman of the Napoleonic era, Denis Charles Parquin, an officer of the Chasseurs a Cheval. Memoirs of soldiers of Napoleon's army are always exciting, but few exist in English translation. Those that have been translated such as the recollections of Coignet, Barres, Bourgogne and Marbot have become famous and provide a valuable resource of first hand information. Parquin joined the 20th regiment of the horse chasseurs in 1806 and served with it until 1813 rising in rank to lieutenant. He fought at Saalfeld, Jena, Eylau, Wagram, in the Iberian Peninsula at Ciudad Rodrigo and at Salamanca, gathering wounds as well as regimental promotions. In 1813, Parquin agreed to take a reduction in rank to join the elite Chasseurs a Cheval of the Imperial Guard, where he became the emperor's escort on the march and in the field. Napoleon personally awarded Parquin the cross of the Legion of Honour during a review in the same year. In the final battles of the First Empire Parquin fought at Leipzig, Hanau-where he was wounded-and during the battle for France in 1814, that led to the emperor's abdication and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. There is some evidence that Parquin took part in the Battle of Waterloo-probably as a cuirassier. He remained in the cavalry under the royalist regime, but was eventually ruined by his involvement in Bonapartist conspiracies. This book concentrates on his life at its most exciting as he served as a 'beau sabreur' in the service of his beloved emperor. Included here are numerous illustrations (taken from the edition of these memoirs published as 'Napoleon's Victories') that illuminate the narrative and add to the book's reading enjoyment and value as a reference source and collectors' edition.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Paris, Librairie Jules Tallandier / Coll. ''Bibliothèque napoléonienne'', (1979). Un vol. au format in-8 (216 x 147 mm) de 422 pp., broché, sous jaquette illustrée. L'ouvrage s'agrémente de planches hors-texte. ''Né à Paris le 20 décembre 1786, Denis-Charles Parquin s'enrôle dans l'armée à l'âge de seize ans. Brigadier, fourrier, maréchal des logis puis sous-lieutenant, il sert à la Grande Armée de 1805 à 1807 et reçoit une blessure à Eylau. Stationné en Autriche en 1809, il rejoint l'Espagne l'année suivante. De nouveau à la Grande Armée, il combat en Saxe en 1813, devient lieutenant au 13e chasseurs à cheval puis rejoint la fameuse garde impériale en tant que capitaine. À la première Restauration, il est affecté au 11e cuirassiers, mais reprend du service aux Cent-Jours où son régiment ne participe pas à Waterloo, ce qui lui permet de servir sous la seconde Restauration. Il termine sa carrière militaire en qualité de chef de bataillon avec rang de lieutenant-colonel dans la garde municipale de Paris? Les Souvenirs du commandant Parquin sont une tranche de vie militaire d'un seul tenant de onze années (1803-1814). Il ne s'agit pas ici d'une bataille ou d'une campagne, de politique ou de vie civile. Ce livre est un journal de guerre, à la fois journal de marche et journal intime. Il permet de comprendre le rythme à la fois long et interrompu pour l'individu de ces guerres de l'Empire qui apparaissent trop souvent comme des campagnes permanentes et menées au pas de charge. Dans ces Souvenirs apparaissent tous les états du soldat en campagne : en garnison et en déplacement, au combat et dans d'interminables opérations qui n'aboutissent pas, victorieux ou prisonnier, dans l'accueillante Bavière ou l'ingrate Castille, au sein de combinaisons stratégiques ou laissé à lui-même dans une bourgade perdue. C'est un précieux document non seulement sur les guerres de l'Empire mais encore sur la guerre comme elle se déroula pendant des siècles, à la vitesse d'un homme au pas et à portée de vue. Belle condition.

Les Souvenirs du commandant Parquin (1786-1845), à la fois journal de marche et journal intime de onze années (1803-1814) de vie militaire, est un précieux document non seulement sur les guerres de l'Empire mais encore sur la guerre comme elle se déroula pendant des siècles, à la vitesse d'un cavalier.
