• Abstract: This article shows how the archival dossier “Notes pour une vie de Napoléon” is not only relevant for its autobiographical qualities—Ponge questioning his vocation—but also for its poetic qualities: the notes on the “great man” lead to a meditation on the proper place of man in nature, which anticipates one of the preoccupations of the Parti pris des choses project, as well as to a questioning of glory, which would result in Pour un Malherbe.
