Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Napoleon´s Opera-Glass: An Histrionic Study I purpose to treat of Napoleon as a theatregoer, as a critic and patron of the drama, and as a familiar of playwrights and players. I intend to show that he was himself a master actor on important occasions and an artist in histrionic effects. We have been entertained of late with chapters on the great man´s campaigns and his costumes, his fads and his furniture, his hats and his boots, his witticisms and his women, his swords and his snuff-boxes, his manners and his maxims. I may be pardoned if I allow my pen to ramble around the opera-glass of Napoleon, merely to indicate what impressions he received through its lenses, and I may be permitted to turn that opera-glass upon himself in order to see how he was affected by these impressions. The experiment is novel and may prove interesting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
