Napoleon: His Wives, Lovers & Women-Two Accounts of the Women in Napoleon's Life - Hardcover
Two vital works on Napoleon's sex life and relationships with women
It can be no surprise that some two hundred years after the Napoleonic era there remains an abiding fascination with the man and everything he did. Even among the great there are few who can boast that their name has been given to an historical period. Napoleon rose from Corsican obscurity to become a general, First Consul of France and Emperor of the First Empire of France. He instigated what was probably the first 'world' war and was a military and administrative genius on a grand scale-the victor of dozens of battles and campaigns and the creator of systems which exist to the present day. Yet, inevitably, for all that he was a mortal man, and despite his soaring ambition, Napoleon was shackled, as most men are, to his physical impulses. Women were always central to Napoleon's life. He had a formidable mother and sisters. He took many lovers-from opera singers to Polish aristocrats-fathering children with some them. He courted and married the redoubtable Josephine Beauharnais and then, having divorced her, married the royal Marie Louise. This unique Leonaur volume brings together two noted works on the most intimate aspects of Napoleon Bonaparte's personality: his platonic, passionate, torrid, familial and enduringly loving relationships with the many women of his turbulent and varied life. Essential reading for all those seeking a fuller understanding of one of the most remarkable men ever to live.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
