I was looking for a biography of Napoleon somewhat fictionalized - I am not a historian and can accommodate me the bias of an author to live the character - This book addresses these points. But ... I found the story of an imperial heaviness finding galore Bonaparte insights of such a lack of subtlety that my desire to learn has crumbled at the end of this first volume (or at least regarding this biography in terms of my desire). Finding the rather flat style more, I have not much to save apart from the wealth of information.
