Rostam's Memoirs

Rostam, Napoleon's slave Rostam, the Georgian boy of Armenian origins, is kidnapped and sold from hand to hand, then fate leads him to Napoleon Bonaparte's palace, famous even to the ends of the earth, so he can attract the general's attention and deserve his patronage, then establish his position with him and among his aides and senior commanders. Despite being a young, limited-educated slave, he is resourceful, proud, and very clever. Rostam knows that he is at the bottom of the pyramid, a slave to others, and owns nothing. He is asked to write his memoirs, from which we learn a side of Bonaparte rarely described in history books by the sons of the East.
