About This Book

Författaren presenterar korta historiska essayer som skisserar flera medlemmars liv och karaktär i Napoleons familj, och behandlar varje syskons personlighet, ambitioner och offentliga roller medan de verkade inom det napoleonska politiska systemet; porträtten betonar familjedynamik, personliga drag, utnämningar till härskande befattningar och deras samspel med kejsarmakten, medan deras landsflykt och senare öden endast nämns kort. Stilen förenar arkivfakta och biografisk iakttagelse för att belysa hur familjeloyalitet, fåfänga och omständigheter formade deras karriärer och öden under epoken.
