Maurice de Tascher (1786-1813) is an extremely interesting figure. Inspired by Napoleon's successes, he entered the military school in Fontainebleau in 1804 and began his career as a soldier. However, his diary is more than just a description of military operations. It is also an extremely detailed picture of the customs of the era, which allows us to better understand those times. His artistic senses allowed him to carefully observe and describe the architecture, art and fashion in the places he visited. Thanks to this, we can travel back in time and feel the atmosphere of those years.

Maurice de Tascher's route led through Germany, Poland, Spain and Russia. His records concerning Polish territories are particularly valuable to us, because they allow us to look at our history from the perspective of a foreigner. Although he managed to survive the disastrous retreat of the Napoleonic army from Moscow, he died of exhaustion in Berlin in 1813. His diary is a testimony to an extraordinary life and turbulent times.
