Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Women Napoleon Loved The French themselves have discussed with native candour Napoleon´s experiments among the other sex. Their curiosity on the subject overflows in contemporary memoirs by many hands, and our own day has had the expression of it in M. Frederic Masson´s sober and careful essay, Napoleon et les Femmes, and in the lively pages - a touch less accurate - of M. Joseph Turquan´s Napoleon Amoureux. It is a side of Napoleon´s life that has not until now been dealt with by an English pen. Through the hard and crude ordeal (one of the least generous, perhaps, that convention has devised for genius) he lives not too badly. In a very special degree my thanks are due to Mrs. C. M. Patmore, who, when the book was planned but scarcely yet begun, helped me assiduously with research, and more than this, through an illness of four months´ duration.
