Sommario/riassunto

This book, originally published in 1896 and reissued by Pickle Partners Publishing, explores the private life of Napoleon Bonaparte, particularly his relationships with women. Written by Frédéric Masson, the book compiles articles originally published in the literary supplement of the Figaro. The author delves into Napoleon's personal associations as a young man, Consul, and Emperor, addressing questions about his romantic involvements and passions. Masson aims to provide a comprehensive account backed by documents he collected, while also responding to criticisms from Bonapartist circles who viewed his



revelations as controversial. The book is intended for readers interested in historical figures, Napoleonic studies, and the interplay between personal and political narratives.
