  • Il neigeait est un roman de Patrick Rambaud publié en 2000. Il fait suite à La Bataille, paru en 1997, qui a remporté le Grand prix du roman de l'Académie française et le prix Goncourt. Fasciné par les campagnes de Napoléon Ier, Patrick Rambaud décrivait dans La Bataille la sanglante bataille d'Essling, massacre inutile, aucun des deux camps ne remportant une réelle victoire. Avec Il neigeait, Patrick Rambaud raconte l'une des plus grandes défaites de Napoléon : la Prise de Moscou par les Français, l'incendie gigantesque qui les oblige à l'évacuer, et la retraite de Russie où Napoléon perd toute son armée.
