The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba

Autor Mark Braude
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Few historical figures are as well-known as Napoleon Bonaparte, and yet the Emperor's ten-month exile on the small island of Elba is virtually unexplored. Now, for the first time, we have a window into this critical moment when the most powerful man on earth turns defeat into one final challenge.A close character study mixed with a world-shaking drama, The Invisible Emperor will show Napoleon as he's never before been seen: as heart-broken husband, civil engineer, interior decorator, gardener and spy master. It will show a man at his nadir rise up against the global odds to build a miniature island empire, turn his two greatest foes into his closest confidantes, and return to France without firing a single shot.

Recenzii

We follow the fortunes of the bewildered citizens of Elba, as their beautiful but poverty-ridden island becomes ground zero for international intrigue... A suspenseful, fast-paced account... Braude's prose glints with humor and humanity.
A history of Napoleon's short first exile, rendered in short, punchy chapters... It's great fun.
The Invisible Emperor details the deceptively calm but ultimately catastrophic interlude in the 25-year military career of one of history's most famous soldiers, Napoleon... Intriguing.
