[EAN: 9781502420169], Neubuch, [PU: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform], PAUL CARUS,HENRY RIDGELY EVANS,FRANCE, This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 72 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.2in.The Napoleon Myth, by Mr. Henry Ridgely Evans, contains a reprint of Pres skit, together with an Introduction by Dr. Paul Carus. Every few years one witnesses a tremendous revival of the Napoleonic cult; for instance, the extraordinary enthusiasm produced by Rostands play, LAiglon. There is a Napoleonic legend that persists in spite of the iconoclastic efforts of modern historians to destroy it. This profusely illustrated exposure of the mythopoeic element in Napoleons career is the work of one who has specialised on the subject. The Westminister Review, Volume 183 The purpose of this book is clearly set forth in the Introduction by Dr. Carus. The reader is to learn how rapidly folklore tales attach themselves to a dramatic figure of history; and Napoleons case is perhaps the better for a student, because his personality is still within clear remembrance of the last but one generation and the legends have developed under the very eyes of a civilized world, whose historians were in the habit of recording facts with accuracy and whose writings are still within reach. But this statement does not tell the whole truth. There is an ulterior motive revealed in the following characteristic utterances (p. 5): The Christian Gospels are not simply narratives of the life of Jesus, but they are the story of Jesus as the Christ, embodying ancient traditions not only of the Jewish notion of a Messiah but many other kindred hopes . . . . The Jewish Messiah conception had been modified and deepened by the Persian doctrine of Mithra, the virgin-born viceroy of Gods kingdom on earth; the Babylonian Marduk, the Conqueror of Death and mediator between God the Father and men, and also the world-resigning Buddha of India. The picture of Jesus in the New Testament is not strictly historical, but it contains historical facts. It is the story of Jesus, the Nazarene, as interpreted by those who believed that he was the Christ. Pages 11 to 21 are devoted to a republication of Jean Baptiste Peres Grand Erratum: the Non-existence of Napoleon Proved. This celebrated pamphlet, written in 1827 and translated into most of the languages of Europe, but of late quite rare, was an attempt, in the interest of conservative theology, to reduce to an absurdity the purely negative tendencies of the rationalistic criticism of the Scriptures then in vogue. In order to travesty the arguments of these critics, P6res reviews the leading facts of Napoleons life, and shows that after all the supposed hero of our century is nothing more than an allegorical personage, deriving his attributes from the sun. No attempt on our part to characterize the authors demonstration of his propositions could do justice to his exceedingly clever satire. The debate, to be appreciated, must be followed in its details. Every reader at all conversant with the extravagant claims of the higher critics will realize the appropriateness of republishing this celebrated burlesque at this time, and will feel duly grateful to Mr. Evans for having prefixed it, in this little book, to his own occult study of the mythical Napoleon.
