“He’s not bigger than me, is longer” – Jawad Salmane reports Napoleon’s words telling an anecdote concerning the french emperor: he was in his office with his soldiers and he needed a book positionated at the top of the shelf; being of short stature and therefore without getting to the top, he asks a very tall soldier to pass him the book. Napoleon, conscious of being small, jokes about his stature underlining how the soldier is not bigger than him, but simply longer.
Referring to Napoleon, Jawad told us about having had the chance to meet an american jew, son of the first rabbin of New York and one of the biggest donors of the Louvre Museum and a Napoleon’s collector.
