Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Burlesque Napoleon: Being the Story of the Life and the Kingship of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, Youngest Brother of Napoleon the Great Although the study of a libertine´s career could never in itself be particularly edifying, such a study, perhaps, need not be dismissed as entirely valueless when the libertine has played a distinct part, if a small one, in an important period of the world´s history. This may be said to have been the case with Jerome Bonaparte. His chief claim to notoriety, indeed, lies in the fact that, among all princely followers of Don Juan, he distinguished himself by the pertinacity of his gallantry, from the days of his precocious exploits as a schoolboy of thirteen to those of the courtly, almost dignified, dissoluteness of an Imperial Prince of seventy. But, apart from being a monumental rake, Jerome had a career of wonderful variety and interest. If he was so entirely light in character as he seemed to be it was with the lightness of a cork in a Niagara of waters. Amid the tremendous movements of the Napoleonic period in Europe, Jerome was always to be found floating gaily on the top.
