Anglais The eagle on splendour : inside the court of Napoleon (édition en anglais)

Philip Mansel

Résumé

The grandeur and extravagance of the court of Napoleon I once surpassed even that of that Louis XIV, the Sun King. His palaces at Saint-Cloud and the Tuileries shimmered with walls of Lyons silk and exotic treasures gleaned from distant campaigns; it echoed with the rustle of jewel-encrusted gowns, the drums of military marches and the whispers of his courtiers' intrigues. This was the center of Napoleon's magnetic power, a dazzling reflection of the greatest empire in European history.
