About this title

Synopsis

� L�, j’entreprends de vous initier � toutes les horreurs, � toutes les beaut�s d’un champ de bataille… Des canons, des chevaux, deux arm�es, des uniformes ; � la premi�re page, le canon gronde, il se tait � la derni�re. � Ainsi Balzac �voque-t-il son projet de consacrer un roman � la bataille d’Essling, qui opposa en 1809, pr�s de Vienne, les Autrichiens � la Grande Arm�e de Napol�on. Balzac mourut sans nous donner sa Bataille. La voici, racont�e par Patrick Rambaud, dans un r�cit document� et vivant, o� se c�toient grognards et jeunes recrues, chirurgiens, actrices, espions, Stendhal, les mar�chaux Lannes et Mass�na autour d’un Napol�on que la Fortune, d�j�, commence d’abandonner. Trente heures de combat, 40 000 morts, 11 000 mutil�s : Essling, c’est la premi�re grande h�catombe de la guerre moderne, sans gloire, sans illusions, dont le sommet sera Verdun.
Roman historique, roman � grand spectacle, roman vrai : chaleureusement accueilli par la critique, La Bataille a �t� couronn� en 1997 par le Grand Prix du roman de l’Acad�mie fran�aise, puis par le prix Goncourt.
