This article examines the degree to which one can illustrate in poetry a historical
phenomenon vested in an artistic form. Here the author looks into the verses of Voloshin,
Tyutchev, and Pushkin: ―Bonaparte‖, ―Napoleon‖, and ―Hero‖. These verses bring to light
Napoleon‘s personality and the historical environment in which he had been working. In each of
the verses, Napoleon is portrayed as a carrier of immense romantic energy, thanks to which he
leaves such an ineffaceable, meteoric trace in history, and is depicted as steeped in some kind of
romantic enchantment. At the same time, each of the verses brings to light the various aspects of
the Napoleonic era and his deeds. Voloshin draws a colorful picture of the Great French Revolution
and social-political upheavals inherent in it, within the depths of which, under the canopy of
Providence, there is born a new phenomenon that is set to become in the near future an
embodiment and carrier of the will of world history. Tyutchev portrays Napoleon as already quite a
full-fledged phenomenon of history, a child of the revolution, which engages in a desperate and, at
the same time, hopeless struggle with his ―mother‖, a struggle in which the hero is doomed to a
tragic end. Whereas Pushkin in his verse, in the form of epic truth typical of him, presents a
retrospection of the entire Napoleonic era and the whole amplitude of the activity of this
phenomenal personality. And what is depicted as most remarkable, in terms of eternalizing him, is
a fact that sort of stands out among a multitude of great deeds: Napoleon‘s handshake with a
plague-stricken man at a hospital in Egypt intended to elevate his fighting spirit. It may seem that
greatness is shown here as a ―non-heroic‖ deed, which, in turn, is a demonstration of the use of an
ingenious medium by a great artist to portray greatness in what may seem as something little
noticed, which is what is eternal.

191 год тому назад умер человек, который в свое время пытался заполнить собой
историю, весь мир. Наполеон, ушедший в небытие, будучи на далеком, затерянном в океане
острове, по-прежнему заставляет задуматься о себе. Уже при его жизни о нѐм написаны
тома, поставлены спектакли, а в наше время сняты кинофильмы. Но при всем изобилии
источников, повествующих об этом замечательном человеке, нельзя не восхищаться теми произведениями, где предельно кратко и в то же время исключительно правдиво и образно
переданы самые существенные стороны эпохи, которую справедливо называют
наполеоновской. Указывая на единство истории и поэзии, замечательный русский критик
В.Г. Белинский в качестве примера для своего обобщающего положения сослался именно на
Наполеона, указывая, что Наполеон лицо поэтическое не только под Тулоном, в Египте, под
Аустерлицем, под Маренго, но и в Москве, и на острове Эльба, и при Ватерлоо, и на острове
Св. Елены, и в доме инвалидов в Париже … (2, с. 504).
