Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Intimate Memoirs of Napoleon III, Vol. 1 of 2: Personal Reminiscences of the Man and the Emperor The book here presented to the English public is the private diary of a lifelong and intimate friend of Napoleon III. The Baron d´Ambès, as the diarist chooses to call himself, first made the acquaintance of the future Emperor when scarcely more than a boy at Arenaberg, the Swiss home where he and his mother, Queen Hortense of Holland, were living in exile. Deeply impressed with the personality of Louis Napoléon, he began from the date of his earliest association with his hero jotting down incidents, conversations and reflections as they occurred - a habit he maintained to the end of a long life. To these he added evidence from every source bearing on his subject - letters, documents, newspaper cuttings, which, after the Emperor´s death and within a few years of his own, he sorted and prepared for publication. The book therefore supplies an enormous mass of first-hand material for a survey and study of the life and character of one of the most enigmatic figures in modern history. The Baron follows his hero from boyhood through the years of exile and adventure - as a conspirator in Italy, as a prisoner at Ham, as a refugee in London, as President of the Republic of 1848, finally as Emperor, down to the disasters of 1870, the fatal day of Sedan and the death at Chislehurst.
