- Abstract
For Anna de Noailles and Marthe Bibesco, Romanian writers of French expression, Napoleon was one of the main characters of the French history, a fascinating and complex, a veritable myth. Noailles, as poet, draws an attractive portrait of the emperor who incarnated, in her conception, the very idea of honor and glory of which she had been fascinated throughout her life. Bibesco saw in him not just a mythical and legendary character but also a possible ancestor of her husband's, according to the beautiful legend transmitted by her mother-in-law. The two writers, who were themselves fond of the idea of European Union, considered Napoleon to be a prophet and a visionary dreaming to create a united Europe.
