Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will surprise readers with the literary depths of Napoleon Bonaparte, exploring the enigmatic emperor's intimate relationship with books and history, going far beyond his more militaristic and imperial fame. Napoleon Bonaparte held absolute political power in France and his influence stretched across Europe and beyond. Yet he remained – between leading his armies and ruling over a vast empire – an indefatigable reader who even carried libraries into battle. Bonaparte’s love of the written word, birthed in childhood and nurtured as an adolescent and young adult, never left him. He was a lover of literature for its own sake – often swooning over melodramatic love stories – but he also understood the value of books as instruments of power. Before his campaigns, he poured over dozens of texts relating to the relevant theaters’ geography, population, trade, and history. When contemplating grave decisions, such as his divorce to Empress Josephine, he consulted the historical record for useful precedents to justify and inform his actions. To bolster his troop’s morale during challenging times, he constantly referenced history in his proclamations, making his contemporaries feel as if they were actively shaping history. They were. The library of an individual is the key to his mind. Behind the grandiose paintings of the victorious conqueror and the constructions of the propagandist, stands the reader. This book is an attempt to glimpse Napoleon’s character without the veneer of imperial glory. What was he like, alone at night by his fireplace? What thoughts percolated in the mind of the ambitious 20-year-old, isolated in a little room while theorizing about man’s happiness? Who are the literary and historical figures which can claim to have had impacted his life? Who were his favorite authors? Through this book the reader will embark on a literary promenade with the great general and statemen. In these pages are found the emperor’s favorite authors. And with them, the key to understanding his mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women Bonapartes, Vol. 2: The Mother and Three Sisters of Napoleon I The new princess, as may be supposed, had no reason to complain of the reception which was accorded her, both by the Papal Court and by society. On the day of her arrival, Cardinal Consalvi, the Secretary of State, the Dowager Princess Borghese, and all her husband's relatives residing in Rome called upon her, and over whelmed her with compliments and attentions. A few days later, she had an audience of Pius VII, who accorded her the'unusual honour of being received in his own apartments, instead of in the gardens of the Vatican, where ladies of high rank were usually presented to him; and Consalvi wrote to the Nuncio in Paris that his Holiness had been pleased with her beyond all conception, and the princess equally so with the Pope, and that the latter had made her a present of a magnificent Chaplet and a superb cameo. The next few days were devoted to receiving, at the Palazzo Borghese, the Roman nobility, the members of the Sacred College, and the Diplo matic Corps, and a round of sumptuous dinners and magnificent fetes completed the princess's introduction to her new life.
