CLISSON AND EUGÉNIE
Napoleon Bonaparte
translated by Peter Hicks with an introduction by
Armand Cabasson
'Their eyes met ... and they soon knew that their hearts were made for each other.’
Triumphant on the field of battle, Clisson turns his back on worldly success. He falls in love and marries Eugenie, but how
long will their love survive?
The tragic story of Clisson and Eugenie reveals one of history’s great leaders also to be an accomplished writer of fiction.
Written in an eloquently Romantic style true to its period, the story offers the reader a fascinating insight into how the young Napoleon viewed love, women and military life.
Aged 26, and having already known success as a soldier, Napoleon was at something of a low ebb both professionally and personally when he began Clisson and Eugenie, and there are undoubted parallels between his own life and their story.
