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.
