{"product_id":"napoleon-or-prostration-before-the-hero","title":"Napoleon; or, \"Prostration Before the Hero\"","description":"xi, 538 pp. Black boards. \"The sub-title, \"Prostration before the Hero, \" is derived from Nietzsche's crushing pronouncement regarding the eulogist of Frederick the Great: \"Perhpas it may have been Napoleon who inspired the soul of his century with that romantic prostration in the presence of the 'genius' and the 'hero,' which was so foreign to the spirit of rationalism of the nineteenth century--a man about whom Byron was not ashamed to say that he was 'a worm compared with such a being.' The formulae of this prostration were discovered by Thomas Carlyle, that arrogant old muddle-head and grumbler, who spent his long life in tyring to romanticise the common sense of his Englishmen: but in vain!\" (from The Dawn of Day).\"","brand":"Alfred A.
