Download or read book Napole n written by Alexandre Dumas and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de Napoleón ha dado lugar a una producción bibliográfica oceánica que ha invadido la literatura y la mitología más allá del campo específico de la historia. Verdaderamente, lo mismo entonces que después, el Emperador es un personaje que ha hecho soñar y ha inspirado a numerosos escritores y novelistas. Uno de ello es Alexandre Dumas, el autor de Los tres mosqueteros o El conde de Montecristo, cuyo padre fue general del propio Emperador, como fue el caso también de Victor Hugo. Con su biografía sobre Napoleón, escrita de forma esquemática, Dumas, anticipándose al regreso a Francia de las cenizas del Emperador en 1840, supo captar mejor que nadie la cresta de la ola del entusiasmo napoleónico para, de una forma breve, sencilla y fácil de leer, escribir en el momento justo el libro apropiado. Alexandre Dumas (Villers-Cotterêts, 1803-Puys, cerca de Dieppe, 1870) es uno de los autores más prolíficos y populares de la literatura europea. Hijo de un general a las órdenes de Napoleón, que más tarde llegaría a conspirar contra este. Sus comienzos literarios fueron en París, donde desde joven se sintió arrastrado por una intensa vocación hacia el teatro y el drama, y aunque escribió numerosas obras, su fama mundial la alcanzó con la novela histórica. Publicó un sinfín de títulos, convirtiéndose, según frase de Delarme, en «el más famoso de los folletinistas y en el más hábil falsificador de la Historia». Vendió libros a millones, llegando a manejar una enorme fortuna que no dudó en dilapidarse, pues es de sobra sabido que derrochó a manos llenas, en una vida de fastuoso escándalo: lujo, frenesí amoroso, banquetes y viajes fueron conduciendo a Dumas a la ruina total. Murió refugiado en casa de su hijo, también Alexandre, y autor de La dama de las camelias. Este, en una carta en la que describía la muerte de su padre, llegó a trazar, tal vez sin saberlo, la mejor y más sintética de sus semblanzas: «Ha muerto como ha vivido: sin darse cuenta». Manuel Moreno Alonso es catedrático de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Sevilla. Historiador de la Guerra de la Independencia y del mundo napoleónico, es miembro de la International Napoleonic Society. Autor, entre otros libros, de una biografía de Napoleón (Napoleón. De ciudadano a emperador) y de su hermano José (José Bonaparte. Un republicano en el trono de España), así como de La verdadera historia del asedio napoleónico de Cádiz (1810-1812), ha realizado numerosas ediciones de texto de época. Ha prologado, entre otras obras, Los periódicos españoles de la Guerra de la Independencia de M. Gómez Ímaz, la Autobiografía de Palafox, Memorias de un boticario (Episodios de la Guerra de la Independencia) de S. Blaze, Memorias de un prisionero de guerra inglés en 1810 de A. T. Blayney, Memorias de un recluta de 1808 de L. F. Gille, o De la Guerra de la Independencia en Galicia de Andrés Martínez Salazar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This fourth volume is focused to the theme of exile. Authors from across the historical discipline provide insights into central aspects of research into the phenomenon of exile in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Both centuries have seen large numbers of people fleeing revolutions, oppression, persecution, and extermination. This volume is the first publication to provide a comprehensive overview over exiles of various political and ethnic groups beginning with the French Revolution and ending with the transfer of Nazi scientists from post-World-War-II Germany to the United States. This volume contains contributions about the refugees created by the French Revolution, the Forty-Eighters who were forced out of Germany after the failed Revolution of 1848/49, the anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, Vietnamese anti-colonial activists in France, the exiles of Nazi Germany, and the transfer of Nazi scientists such as Wernher von Braun to the United States after World War II.
Download or read book Finding Napoleon written by Margaret Rodenberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rodenberg inventively uses Bonaparte’s own unfinished novel to tell the story of the despot’s rise to power, which she juxtaposes against the story of his last love affair. Told creatively and with excellent research!” —Stephanie Dray, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of America's First Daughter and The Women of Chateau Lafayette “Beautiful and poignant.” —Allison Pataki, New York Times best-selling author of The Queen’s Fortune With its delightful adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s real attempt to write romantic fiction, Finding Napoleon: A Novel offers a fresh take on Europe’s most powerful man after he’s lost everything—except his last love. A forgotten woman of history—the audacious Countess Albine—helps narrate their tale of intrigue, desire, and betrayal. After the defeated Emperor Napoleon goes into exile on tiny St. Helena Island in the remote South Atlantic, he and his lover, Albine de Montholon, plot to escape and rescue his young son. Banding together enslaved Africans, British sympathizers, a Jewish merchant, a Corsican rogue, and French followers, they confront British opposition—as well as treachery within their own ranks—with sometimes subtle, sometimes bold, but always desperate action. Amid his passions and intrigues, Napoleon finishes his real novel Clisson that he started writing as a young man. Now it's a father's message to the young son whom his enemies took from him, but how can they get it to the boy? When Napoleon and Albine break faith with one another, ambition and Albine’s husband threaten their reconciliation. To succeed, Napoleon must learn whom to trust. To survive, Albine must decide whom to betray. This elegant, richly researched novel reveals the Napoleon history conceals and the Countess Albine history has forgotten.
Download or read book Literary Censorship in Francisco Franco s Spain and Getulio Vargas Brazil 1936 1945 written by Gabriela de Lima Grecco and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents two systems of censorship and literary promotion, revealing how literature can be molded to support authoritarian regimes. The issue is complex in that at a descriptive level the strategies and methods new states use to control communication through the written word can be judged by how and when formal decrees were issued, and how publishing media, whether in the form of publishing companies or at the individual level, engaged with political overseers. But equally, literature was a means of resistance against an authoritarian regime, not only for writers but for readers as well. From the point of view of historical memory and intellectual history, stories of people without history and the production of their texts through the literary underground can be constructed from subsequent testimony: from books sold in secret, to the writings of women in jail, to books that were written but never published or distributed in any way, and to myriad compelling circumstances resulting from living under fascist authority. A parallel study on two fascist movements provides a unique viewpoint at literary, social and political levels. Comparative analysis of literary censorship/literary reward allows an understanding of the balance between dictatorship, official policy, and what literary acts were deemed acceptable. The regime need to control its population is revealed in the ways that a particular type of literature was encouraged; in the engagement of propoganda promotion; and in the setting up of institutions to gain international acceptance of the regime. The work is an important contribution to the history of twentieth-century authoritarianism and the development fascist ideas.
