Overview

Napoleon Der Kleine is a scathing political satire by Victor Hugo, originally published in 1852. Written in German, the work critiques Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, later Napoleon III, and his rise to power, casting a critical eye on the coup d'état of 1851 and the establishment of the Second Empire. Hugo's sharp wit and powerful prose expose what he saw as the absurdity and illegitimacy of Napoleon III's regime. This enduring work remains a vital historical document, offering insight into the political climate of 19th-century France and the ongoing struggle for democracy and liberty. Hugo's passionate denunciation of tyranny resonates even today, reminding readers of the importance of vigilance against authoritarianism and the enduring power of political resistance.
