Brand New Book
Napoleon was but a poor, insignificant army officer and Josephine was a widow. They met in a Paris ravaged by revolution and despairing of war, and they fell in love and married.......
From those early days in Paris to the bitter divorce in 1809 the couple kept in touch through intimate letters. Napoleon's insatiable ambition took him from Italy to Egypt, from general to emperor, yet he and Josephine wrote frank, revealing letters to keep in touch.
This collection of letters reveals much about the times through which Napoleon and Josephine prospered and about the forces which played upon a couple who rose at astonishing speed to the very height of prestige, power and success.
This edition contains biographies of leading personalities, 40 illustrations, a chronology and detailed commentaries to each letter.
