Generál Lasalle - Napoleonův nejslavnější kavalerista – Elbl Pavel B. (2022)

Let us follow the brief yet brilliant career of one of the most significant cavaliers and rebels of France, who first followed the revolutionary army, then General Bonaparte, and later Emperor Napoleon on almost all his campaigns, thus becoming a direct participant in the grand, immortal epic. Lasalle was, according to his admirers and admirers, an elegant hussar of perfect appearance and demeanor, drawing attention to himself with both a striking military uniform and the quality of his horses with perfect equipment, a gallant seducer desired by many a lady's heart, but also an unrestrained, boisterous companion, experiencing with equal passion both wild nights filled with pleasure and fierce battles. With unabashed fondness, he gathered his officers around a large bowl of hot punch, leading them into battle with a pipe in his mouth. His premature death heralds the glory of a remarkable era in which he laid down his life on the battlefield for the great emperor, for on the scale of love and devotion he achieved, such an attitude could only be satisfied by a complete sacrifice of oneself. And thanks to this sacrifice, he became a collaborator in an immortal work.
