Unit two. Extra voices. Exercise two.

The first time Napoleon was defeated in eighteen fourteen, he was forced to abdicate.

The victors exiled him to Elba, an island in the Mediterranean, near the coast of Northern Italy.

He arrived there on May the third, eighteen fourteen.

He wasn't really a prisoner there.

He became the Emperor of the island.

While he was living there, he acted as the island's government.

He created an army and a navy, as well as developing mining and farming on the island.

He lived on the island for three hundred days. And although the island was being watched by the British Navy, he escaped easily on February the twenty-sixth.

He returned to France, where his old army joined him again. And Napoleon briefly returned to power.

But a hundred days later, he was defeated in the famous Battle of Waterloo.

This time, his victors weren't as generous.

They sent him to an island called Saint Helena, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The possibilities of escaping were zero.

Saint Helena is two thousand kilometers away from the nearest place.

He lived in a comfortable house, but later he was moved to a damp, unhealthy wooden house.

He spent his time gardening and writing his memoirs.

But his living conditions affected his health, and in eighteen twenty-one, he died.

He was buried on the island, and his grave has no name on it.
